When you guys change the mirror do you lose your auto dimming side view mirrors?  The standard mirror has the sensor in it for all 3.

 

-Eli

My understanding (based on my manual) is that the passenger side mirror does not auto-dim, and that the drivers side and this camera mirror each have their own sensor.

I don’t think either of you read what I’ve typed. Here is what you need: Spoiler assembly with camera (black) 84515287 Mirror 13532977 Coax cable 84335461 You do NOT need to buy the PN I ACCIDENTA

K it works. Zero programming needed plug and play. When I have time to compile everything I’ll do a whole write up. Get your parts on order.

Mirror came in, waiting on the camera, should be here Monday. Powers up perfect with the plug that’s glued inside the headliner. I’ll post a full install with PN needed next week.

You are correct, the passenger side does not dim. The sensor is only in the mirror. The mirror with the camera should have a sensor and will not loose functionality.

Some background, I do auto body by trade at a GM dealer here in Houston. I’m very well versed on these things and their assembly so you’ll have to forgive me when I say it’s easy, because I do this stuff everyday. By most DIY standards this is an easy job, it just may take you half a day so you’re careful. I will do a write up with pics soon.

Just curious as I live locally here.  Do you do installs on the side if I were to buy the needed parts?  Would love this upgrade but don’t have enough faith I would not mess something up on my brand new 2020 Sierra 1500 elevation,  this feature is the only one I couldn’t get when I purchased that I really wanted.

I was interested in this mod but it seems like you are replacing an actual mirror image with an image from a camera.  What is the advantage to have the camera to justify the mod?  Is it mainly for a wider range of view behind you using a camera?

Much wider angle, and the huge benefit of not having the window frames, headrests, and passengers blocking the view. You can also clearly see people in the cars behind you picking their noses at stop lights.

Did you get this installed yet? Any hiccups?  I have the same parts sitting in the garage.

I am trying to put everything together from this long thread.  It seems there have been many updates to parts and/or part numbers over the years the thread has been open.  I think the mirror part number (13536995) and the coax cable part number (84335461) are pretty straight forward.  The following two posts are confusing me though.

The post in July by Kyle's AT4 stated that he purchased the "Camera 84699124" which, in my research, seems to be a third brake light assembly with camera and wire harness all in one

The post in November by Aaaaaaaayush stated that they bought "P/N: 84487008 High Mount Lamp" AND "P/N: 84599550 Harness"

I would rather buy the "all-in-one" light/camera/harness if this is the case as its much cheaper.

If I am way off on this can someone just point me in the right direction to add this feature to my 2021 Silverado LT crew cab.  ie. list of part numbers required.

 

Thanks so much!

 

PS Aaaaaaaayush, did you end up completing your installation?

I did this install about 3 month ago.  Here's what I got:

 

P/N: 13536995 Mirror     (Ordered New from a GM Parts Website because the "take off" I got from eBay came DOD)

P/N: 84487008 High Mount Lamp   (Got the entire spoiler, lamp, camera, and harness from eBay but they now sell just the lamp, camera, and harness for a hundred bucks less )

P/N: 84335461 Cable   (Order from Amazon)

 

The only issue I had was removing the rear clips from the headliner.  I tore one of them by mistake.

Sorry I've been busy recently and haven't been able to update y'all but I did finish in about a day, I did also do a Rolls Royce Starlight headliner so that added to the time it took me to do the mirror (because I didn't have the headliner harness in).

 

It isn't necessary to remove the whole headliner from the truck, however I did because I wanted to do the starlight headliner and sound deaden the roof with Killmat deadener.

 

I didn't have any problems, I was sure to glue the coax cable down to the headliner so it wouldn't rattle with music and also used some outdoor silicone on the bolts for the spoiler and the third brake light to reseal the cab and prevent any leaks.

 

Everything worked perfectly no misalignment or anything like that.

 

There wasn't really anyway to show you how to do it but there is a video somewhere in this forum from Infotainment.com that shows you the install, that kit is $1500 and I don't think its worth it just to have them in one box, just order them separate from gm parts suppliers, its way cheaper.

 

I do have a toolbox that isn't low-profile so this mirror camera system was a great upgrade.

I bought the camera, light, harness as an all in one package. Very easy install.

Just to confirm, you're "all-in-one package" for the light, camera harness was P/N: 84699124 for $140.38.  As opposed to Aaaaaaaayush using P/N: 84487008 High Mount Lamp AND P/N: 84599550 Harness which is around $220 total.

PN: 84699124 is only the high mount lamp (FOR GMC SIERRA) with no harness, no mirror, etc. I think what Kyle’s AT4 was talking about was the “infotainment.com” upgrade which is all packaged together but costs $1199


My PNs were all for a 2020 Silverado LT Texas Edition, my high mount lamp came with no harness and I would need a new harness that had the coax connector for the video signal.

 

I ordered all of my parts from “TascaParts.com” which is where I found it to be the cheapest, I didn’t want any “take off” parts or used parts so these were all ordered New genuine GM parts.


My Subtotal was $771.90 and after shipping and taxes the Total came out to $870.37, I believe this was the cheapest route for me without buying used/take off parts.


Subtotal: $771.90
Estimated Shipping to Austin via Standard Shipping: $32.15
Tax: $66.32
Total: $870.37

Looks good! Plug and play or programming required? Any photos of starlight headliner and how much it was?

      OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
