Escalade side mirrors on a Tahoe LTZ!

[cmatt]

Put them in a box on shelf in the garage.

I need to get mine off the shelf and sell them along with my OE headlights, grille, intake manifold, throttle body, etc. lol

 

[cmatt]

Would there be any interest if I offered a wire harness solution to getting DL3 & Esky mirror features to work for those that don’t have them?

Looks like I'm on the right track. In a box in the basement.......

please pardon me for bringing this thread back from the dead. I just purchased a 2018 Tahoe and like countless others I am very unhappy with the size of the mirrors.
I have read this thread numerous times and cant find the answer to my question , maybe I missed it.
if I have a Tahoe now that does not have any options on my existing small mirrors like puddle lights , power folding, heated, blind spot warning etc will connecting the escalade mirrors with an escalade door wiring harness and a new switch control panel give me any of these options.
thank you

Most likely, no. Many times those circuits are missing from the body side of the door connector. I can make a harness that will add those options. You may not need to replace the door harnesses. I need to see pics of the ends of your door connectors to verify which terminals are present.

Here’s how to get at them (ignore the writing). PM me with the info.

I couldn’t be happier after replacing mine!

Now that's it's been almost a year with the Esky mirrors on my Tahoe, I'm finding myself wanting to get the power fold and turn signals to work. From scrolling through this thread, I see that the wiring will need to be worked and that I'll need a new switch for the door.

Any chance you can give a step-by-step (in baby terms) on how to do this?

To get both those options to work, you’ll need to swap door harnesses with ones I make, add a harness inside the cabin and swap in the correct power fold switch.

Basically, it grabs those missing circuits from the BCM, X61A junction block, etc. and brings them to the doors. Then carries them to the mirrors.

I hope that answers your question. I am working on an install video showing what’s involved in landing the terminated wires and swapping the door harnesses.

The switch is the easy part, it's the harnesses that are tricky to me. But I'd be willing to get what I need from you if you've got the time, etc.

Looking forward to the install video. Thanks!!

If I have existing heated/folding mirrors will still need a new switch? 2016 Tahoe

You won’t need a new switch if you already have folding mirrors. Do your mirrors also have the turn signal in the glass and the auto-dim feature as well as the puddle lamp? If so, those should be DL3 mirrors.

If that’s the case, the Escalade mirrors will be a direct swap. No other harnesses or switch needed.

Curious if you got be cameras to work..... lotsa pages in this thread to go back through

 

[cmatt]

For those with DL8 mirrors (heated and power glass only), I’ve found a factory Escalade mirror without the blind spot feature. You can now enjoy the larger surface area with the additional DL3 features and not have the blind spot indicator in the glass.

I can order these new from my supplier and have them drop shipped to you. Keep in mind you’ll need the mirror caps as well(I can also provide) and they will need to be painted.

I have not looked into it further. I did see where a member had a shop splice into them when they installed an Echomaster type camera system. They have a fisheye type view. You’d have to decide if that’d be acceptable.

In short, the wiring can be done. You’d have to determine the interface module you want to use.

Here’s a video I did to go over the harnesses needed to perform this upgrade.

very nice video and set up there

How much are the mirrors? I have an LS with no mirror options. Thanks.

I have 2 on eBay for sale. Power, turn signal, and heated. No puddle. I’ll take $250 for both.
