Do you have the mirrors already? Im curious if the blind spot glass is compatible with a 1500, while retaining all existing features (auto dim, heated, etc)
I don’t have the mirrors yet .
I need to do a bit more research on the options you have mentioned .
Will look into some wiring tonight .

Ill have to read back but I think someone posted here that they found the glass part number but was not sure it was auto-dim or not. Would seem silly NOT to be, but you never know I guess.

I have the regular size mirrors not the two Mirrors
Hopefully the glass will work for the non tow mirrors as well

I ordered the glass for the tow mirrors, it is not auto dimming, I don't think they make the flip up tow mirrors with dimming, at least I haven't seen any. I should have the glass Wednesday and will let everyone know if they fit.

Its hard to tell from the RAM HD catalog but if Im reading it correctly, you cant get blind spot without tow mirrors.

Now the question is, does the small portion of the tow mirror fit a "whole" non-tow mirror.

Other question is if the glass from a DT would fit non-tow mirrors and come with blind spot along with all the other functions

Yeah there are a lot of variables here .
If I can’t get tow mirrors with the auto dim then I will probably install some leds In the sail panels .

That's my plan at the moment, too. Not worth losing heated/dimming mirrors to have the indicator in the mirror. Right now I just have the LEDs tucked in at the corner of the sail panels until I figure out my programming issues.

Were you only getting dtc's in the blindspot modules? Were there any codes in the door modules or bcm?

My mirrors are tow mirrors and have auto dim. So they are available.
If your factory 2018 Tow Mirrors are AutoDim please pm me the PNs if known so I can update the mirror thread for others.

M² Mods.

Pulled the trigger on a 2016 GC blind spot sensor. I want to connect it to see if it also has the same ECU mismatch error. If it doesn't, then I will start working down the path of trying to get my modules flashed down to a 2016 GC cal and that will be an adventure of its own.

I ordered tow mirrors with power fold ,heated and blind spot
So the ones I ordered don’t have autodim.
Did you by chance make notes on which wires you had to repin in new spots ?
I will have to add the tow mirror support brackets as well .
My Mirrors are black and not chrome so won’t have tilt in reverse .

It is still unclear to me if there is any regular sized mirror glass that has blind spot built in, along with the other features.

Do we know if the smaller portion of the tow mirror glass fits in place of the regular size mirror glass on a non-tow mirror?

The tow mirror glass will not fit the smaller mirrors
