It literally just plugs in.  They may have only noticed the larger harness.  But there are  no modifications needed to the mirror harness.
Yes,

Double check their work. I bought that exact one and it was plug and play. They might not have pulled down the right connection.

I took some pictures to maybe help some people! I saw that there are three plugs up there! One for the rear view mirror and two I don't know what for. I'm hoping it's for the rear view mirror camera o

So I finally had time to do mine yesterday.  Like others have said, the hardest part is removing the black cover behind the mirror.  It's in two pieces.  I was able to get the larger piece loose relat

Thank you!  You are correct. Installed myself in less than an hour. The dealer tech either saw the large unused plug when he took down the console or saw the plug behind the black plastic cover on the windshield. I am not sure what that is, but everything fit under the cover when I put everything back together. Hardest part was getting the plug unstuck and cleaning glue off so  it could plug into the mirror.

Thanks everyone for the tips, pics, and links. Now I need the tip to get the dang black t20s in under the console!  Can’t get either of them in and have now dropped one into the abyss of the truck floor. Any idea on a size of that screw? 
 

Otherwise, works as intended and relatively simple install!

 

Thanks again!

Stick your screws on the end of your t20 tool with hot melt Gun Gun then you can stick it up in the hole with out it falling off make it super easy to do

Good idea!  I was able to get the one in. Still looking for the other.  I honestly have no idea where it disappeared to when I dropped it!

I magnetized my torx driver when I did this job.

Same here. No issues putting it back in.

Maybe the blue trucks are easier to work on...

Mine is blue too....there goes that theory! ? In all honesty it was a simple install.  Patience, which I lack sometimes, is key.

First time Truck owner here! (2019 Trail Boss LT) Just want to say thank you to all of you for this and other topics to help me get to know my truck better. I changed my mirror following your instructions, and suggested parts. It’s perfect!

I just ordered the same exact one for the same price.  I can't believe that my  RST Z71 came with a "dumb" mirror and manual folding mirrors on the outside.  You would think a 53k truck would come with this and power folding mirrors.  My 2005 LS came with those options and it was 23k truck back then.

Just want to thank everyone in this thread for the info !  I ordered the GM Part 13581082 as listed in this thread.  I followed the instructions and installed this in less than 30 minutes in my 2019 Silverado 1500 RST.  The plug was glued in the ceiling pillar as noted and I had to use a flat head screwdriver to pry it off the metal, but it works like a champ.  Still not sure why this is not included in a truck that costs as much as it does, but the upgrade was easy enough.

 Installed a Gentex framless dimming mirror.  Spliced in to the glued harness (Violet/White wire) using the provided universal harness.  Works as it should.  There's homelink versions available for some extra $$.

Do you happen to have any photos of the wire splicing/harness? I ordered the frameless as well.

Installed my gen8 hl auto dim mirror... It really does make a difference, simple install, I'm half ass smart with electrical and mine works great, I did have to run both power sources to the same spot as I couldn't find a constant 12v (was lazy and didn't test either)d4858ef8e1547cd61aacbe2b1a05ba8e.jpg

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
