Question about sport mirrors

[rroche1982]

Are the painted mirrors with the puddle light auto tilt? Looking at upgrading my black Big Horn mirrors

No the tilt feature is only on the chrome backed mirrors on the Longhorn. There is an extra wire( a white one) needed in the harness of the mirror to make them tilt. I think you also have to have the memory seat functions.

Is it only the longhorn mirrors?

So are they power folding?

I thought some sport mirrors had the capability but not sure.

Longhorn, limited and harvest edition mirrors will auto tilt. Harvest edition trucks dont have the feature enabled from the factory but I confirmed the mirrors can do it (installed a set onto my big horn and enabled through alfaobd)

Yes they do power fold

Yes they do power fold

Are any of the harnesses different? I have a 2017, do only certain years interchange?

I have a set of Laramie longhorn donor mirrors, do I need anything else to make them work besides Alphaobd? Are they plug in play and then the codes on?

What trim level is your truck?

I'm not sure ALL trucks have the correct door modules from the factory but I think there is a very good chance they are, unless it's a really basic trim level.

I have a big Horn, it had all the correct working for the AC seats. I just plugged them in and used Alpha. Mine came with power folding mirrors, and heated seat and steering wheel

Then I would say you are good to go. I have a 2017 Big Horn as well, removed my power folding mirrors, added the Harvest edition mirrors, updated the settings in Alfa and I was good to go.

I think it took me about 10-15 minutes per mirror.

The white plug has to have 8 wires if you want auto tilt... seems like only the chrome ones have the 8 wires, all the other ones I've seen only have 4 wires.

 

[Stefan N]

My sport have it I think...

 

[chrisbh17]

I always just ask the seller for a pic of the wiring harness ends. Im pretty sure there are some Sport mirror configs that have the correct wiring but they are hard to find.

Chrome caps will most likely have it, but only if they are OEM, which is why I just ask for pics of the wiring in case someone is trying to pass off aftermarket chrome mirrors as OEM.

I'm in the middle of upgrading my mirrors to the chrome limited ones... What exactly is "auto tilt"? And what are "memory" mirrors?

The factory mirrors that have memory capability (they link to memory seats and keyfobs to auto-adjust position based on what keyfob is used to unlock the truck) also have a feature where they will automatically tilt downward in reverse, to help see where you are going.

Even if you dont have the full memory setup, AlfaOBD can be used to enable the auto tilting functionality. And if your truck already has the correct door modules, with the factory memory mirrors in place the auto-tilt will work regardless of the rest of the memory stuff.
