Auto dimming rear view mirror

[Russ757]

Now that day light savings is a thing, I forgot how nice auto dimming mirrors are at night.  

 

Doesn't look like the most intrusive of installs but curious if anyone had the plain no tech mirror and upgraded? 

[GETGONE]

Yes. There's a thread on here somewhere with pictures. Pull the dome light console and the plug for the auto dim mirror is glued to the metal roof. Pull it off and feed through the front of the headliner and plug into the new mirror. I picked up one removed from a truck with the tow package on ebay for $45. Can't believe the only way to get the auto dim is with the tow mirrors.

Must be something they changed. My 20 1500 has autodim and no tow mirrors.

Must be a GMC thing. They cheaped out on the Chevys.

My 2019 Sierra has auto dim on rearview and driver side mirror. My outsides are not tow mirrors. I think it depends on the trim package.

Those mirrors were supplied by "GENTEX" as I recall.  Not sure of the exact spelling.

What part number are you searching? I'm interested in doing this too.

If the wire for the autodim is in every truck, then shouldn't the GM acessory version with built in garage door opener work as well?

They have one for non-autodim but if the wire is there, might as well get the autodim version.

On my 2022 RST refresh model the wiring harness was not glued to the head liner. I bought a harness off ebay that plugs into the mirror and had to hot tap a wire in the overhead console harness to power the mirror.

I picked up a Gentex with Homelink off eBay for like $60 and ran power down the passenger side windshield trim and into a fuse tap. Took all of 20 minutes and works great.
