That doesn't look like an '08...

Their hoods look like they're 5 feet high.
Had a few request for a write up so I figured I would add it here.
Added a reverse camera mirror to the Suburban. The 09 and newer trucks and SUVs are pre-wired for this IF you have the blue and white wires in pins 6 & 7 in the back of the mirror. When I did this to my 2011 Sierra I added pins to a plug in the driver kick panel. For the SUVs I found conflicting answers on where the blue and white wires are ran. I ended up pulling the overhead console and splicing into the blue and white there. Then ran video across the headliner and down the A pillar. I already had the reverse camera wired to my Pioneer double din. I added a splitter to where the Pioneer doesn’t automatically turn on the backup camera in reverse. Only the mirror comes on in reverse but I can turn on the double din anytime.

Hello Dustin,
I am trying to see if I can install a mirror like that in my 2013 Chevy Tahoe SSV, I have to look in the overhead console to see what wiring is there (or if there's even a plug maybe.
Do you have a part number for that mirror? and a pin out?
I 'upgraded' my tahoe with an GM OEM Nav HDD radio, and an OEM GM camera *the camera does have the RC plug, that goes into the radio)
thanks,
Ron
Ron,
You don’t need to pull the overhead console. If you look at the back of the mirror if there are blue and white(pins 6/7 in the back of the mirror) wires it is pre-wired from the factory. If not you will have to run the wires. I didn’t trace the wires past the A pillar. I just spliced in as it came into the headliner behind the overhead console.
Check out this listing. It is the retro fit kit.

Hello Dustin,
My 2013 SSV doesn't have any wires connected to the mirror I think (I'll double check tonight). BUT in these vehicles (PPV/SSV) it is not uncommon that the wiring harnes has been tucked awat and is still there. (for example it's teh same for the DIC in the dash).
Funny you sent the link for the retro fit kit.. it's exactly the one I was looking at. (mine doesn't have XM and onstar, BUT I assume I can just make the rest work? (with rest I mean, have the dimmed mirror and also the LCD for the backup camera).
Ron
