Available through any dealer if you don't want to go through the website.  More expensive, though...

This looks like a great option, does anyone know if it will work with the dipswitches on my gate opener.

Rostra makes a frameless auto dim mirror with Homelink V5 that also has a hidden compass in the upper right of the mirror. I've found one on ebay for $170 plus shipping. Rostra part number 250-8709-(CHEVY1020)  The Homelink is built in and not removable like the others posted in this thread. It says it's a direct plug in for the 10 pin plug that is already in our trucks.

As a side note the factory auto dim mirror works just fine in trucks without it. I picked one up cheap on ebay and it plugs right in and works fine. There is no programming or wiring needed. All these auto dim mirrors need are 3 wires, power, ground and reverse trigger. You technically don't even need the reverse trigger but it turns off the dimming when in reverse so it doesn't dim when backing out of your dark garage into bright sun.

I know this thread is older but I’d like to ask a question and include information from this thread. I have a 2023 Silverado 1500 without the convenience II package so no Homelink. I’ve been trying to add it. I did pickup a console that had sunroof, slider, and Homelink from a salvage yard. It had the exact same two harness slots that came off my original factory one however when I plugged it in, nothing worked… no map lights, nothing. Went back to my original console and everything workedso the truck is fine. My question is should any of the consoles that are replacement fits work?  Did I just get a bad salvage unit or does it matter which console I get?  My replacement was part 84816404 which was  advertised as fitting 2019-2022. I don’t know of a difference between 2022

and 2023. Any ideas here?

22 refresh and up went with a Global B electrical architecture. Do you have the new dash? The lower trim trucks still had the old style dash but I'm not sure if the electrical stuff had changed.

I believe I have the new dash.  I have a 2023 RST.  Do you think the harness, although the exact size, is actually configured differently and that's why my used part from a 2019 didn't work?  If that is true, then I would imagine a console with homelink from a 2023 or a 2022 refresh would work?

I know my Avalanche window switches didn't work when I swapped them with the trim from one I bought off ebay. Looked exactly the same and had the same plugs but didn't work the same. I would imagine a 22 or 23 console would work for you.

I looked at some new trucks last night on the dealer lot and it looks like the Homelink buttons are different than the pre refresh trucks. I shined a flashlight on it so it was difficult to tell exactly what was different but it didn't look like the buttons are backlit and it just has dots for the 3 buttons.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
