Nice ride. I have the same wheels on my Tahoe. Can't wait until time for new calipers!

And it should be simple enough to just plug & play? Again, I'm not a super technical person...Lol

I'll do some searching to see what I can find.

Yes, plug and play. Page 3 of this thread gives a little bit more detail about which mirrors this guy bought. Since you aren't trying to add video cameras on the mirrors, you don't need the harnesses.

Yeah my LTZ didn't have heated mirrors (i dont think) and was basically just electric fold, blinker, proximity warning and electric adjustment. I bought the escalade mirrors that had video also but just didn't plug the cameras in (since the LTZ harness doesn't have the plug). Everything else worked no problem. So basically you should be able to use (or not use) whatever functions your truck already has regardless with the Escalade mirror.

Honestly it took 10 min on the second door. Still the best upgrade ive done.

I will say the first two i bought had replaced glass so the proximity warning didnt work so just make sure you look any you are interested in over well.

So this may be a dumb question, but since my Tahoe is a 2017, I'm assuming I should look for 2017 Escalade mirrors...right? o_O

I checked the mirror connectors for the 2015-2017 Tahoe and Escalade on the GMSi site and the pin outs are the same. So in theory you should be able to source one from 2015-2017.

Yeah just did it for my girlfriend on her 2017 Yukon SLT and honestly didn't even think about year. Just bought a pair off eBay and some door panel clips and plugged em in and went. Only needed one clip this time.

My parents are wanting to do it on their Silverado and the mirror caps do look a little different between the Silverado and Tahoe but i was just assuming it would be the same wiring. Might have a look before buying another set of mirrors for them.

I can check the pin outs, but the sail piece is different between the SUVs and trucks. The suv windshield has a sharper angle (i.e. more swept back look). Also, the plastic locator pin on the back of the sail piece is in a different location.

They could look at tow mirrors and door harnesses from phamboa @ GM-trucks.com to make them work.

Tahoe and Silverado mirrors, post 2015 are not interchangeable.

Do you have access to the green camera connector pinout? I am in the process of hooking the esky cameras up on on my Denali. I got the esky Mirrors and installed an MVI interface and am just needing the pinout so I can splice to the rca on the interface.

The cadi mirrors I bought had oem cameras yes. The kit from MVI, I had to buy the side cameras for the wiring and motherboard that goes behind head unit. Even though I didn't use the MVI cameras I needed the other parts that came with their kit to make the Escalade OEM mirrors work.
Can you show us some pictures of what your screen looks like working i am curious being the cameras are not blind spot cameras but 360 cameras

Alright, so I sourced a new OEM Escalade passenger mirror assembly with Blind Spot, Puddle Light, camera, etc.

Upon inspection, the puddle light lens seemed to be a little loose. Is this normal? It can't rotate, but it can move a little. Before I return this, would like to get other's experiences. Thanks in advance!

I checked both of mine and there is some play. I think it would probably be deemed within tolerances.

I don't know how to post pics on here, but I finally got my mirrors changed out. Didn't upgrade the harness or anything fancy, basically just swapped my Tahoe mirrors with Escalade mirrors.

Thanks for all your help guys! I love the bigger mirrors already!!
