Thanks so much to cmatt for helping me with my mirror harnesses and switches. I finally got my turn signals, folding, and puddle lamp working on my new Esky mirrors and I LOVE it!

Also, because it took me a moment to realize, be sure that you don't have the dome override turned on because if so, the puddle lamps won't work. :p

Let’s see your pics of your work. Or at least your finished product. I’m working on mine now.

Sorry, but I didn't connect the cameras. I just wanted the blinker, puddle lamps, and power fold. Good luck with yours!
It is tempting to try. I do enjoy the bigger size compared to the miniature factory mirrors.

Yeah when i started this thread I had full intentions of getting the mirror cams to work and it just wasnt worth the effort. The mirror size difference was a big enough win to make it worth it without the cameras.

The cameras can be utilized. Just need to source the camera pigtail harness connector and land those wires between that and the door connector. Once inside the cabin, it’s a matter of connecting to a module that can process the image and link with the screen.

I’ve seen it done by a member. He had a car audio shop do the install and they used something similar to the Echomaster system.

Problem is (and what’s kept me from pursuing it) the cameras have a fish eye lens. In this application, they are well suited for the 360 degree surround view feature the caddy has, but don’t provide much visual aid otherwise.

Just did this mod to my 2017 Tahoe this past weekend. This is probably the best/most useful mod that I've done to my truck. We love the new mirrors. For those of you thinking about this mod, just do it. I bought a 2015 and 2017 escalade mirror with all of the bells and whistles (to include the side camera). Everything is plug and play if you have mirrors that have the same functionality/options as the one you're plugging in. Got one for $100 and another for $150. For some reason, the driver's side was the hardest to come by.

**NOTES:
  • I bought plastic interior trim removal tools from Auto Zone so I didn't scratch up my interior door panels while taking the doors apart.
  • I referenced A-1 Auto's youtube video for the removal of the mirrors.
  • Our stock Tahoe/Yukon mirror covers do not fit on the 2015+ Escalade mirrors.
  • After initial install, I tested the mirrors. Blinkers worked fine. Power folding did not. However, this was because I had only connected one of the two cables from the mirror to the door. Both cables are required to be connected for all functions to work - so don't be alarmed if you get to the point of testing and not everything works immediately.
  • After installing everything, my mirrors still were not folding. I looked this up, and had to cycle my mirrors (in and out) 3 times for the system to reset the mirrors. I did this, turned the vehicle off and back on, and everything works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have or know where a new black escalade handle for the drivers side can be located with blind spot, puddle light and power fold?

If you’re looking for a new factory Escalade mirror, I can source one from my supplier. PM me for more info if interested.
