06 Sierra 1500 SLT, auto dimming side view mirror ?

[soulweeper]

Hello,
My side view mirror on my '06 Sierra 1500 SLT, is getting this yellowish haze, and needs to be replaced. Mine has the turn signal and is heated, so that part I know, but some of them have auto dimming, and I seriously don't know if my truck has it. I know that my rear view mirror has it, and there is a switch right on the mirror, but the manual says if my truck has the auto dimming feature for the outside mirror, the feature is controlled by the on/off switch on the electrochromic mirror, so I'm assuming that means the switch on the rear view mirror controls both??

Thanks in advance.

I know on k2 it's like that; My wife's Malibu appears to be the same but it's been a while since I've been in it or looked at it - ie the inside rear view mirror controls the darkening of the drivers outside mirror. I have a 05 silverado WT. I put a auto darkening mirror in from a Yukon? I am not sure because it was a fleebay part. When I looked up some info on the pinout of that model of mirror, the function was described as you think - the inside mirror (has the sensors) controls the outside so the both darken at the same time.

Thanks for the reply, and it makes the most sense that it would work that way. There are cheap mirrors that aren't heated, and no turn signal.....all the way up to turn signal, heated, and auto dimming, so wanted to make sure I got the same mirror. Probably go mid range aftermarket, as the OEM ones are outrgaeous.
