Can the tail ridge mirrors be disassembled and have oem mopar BSM glass installed?
I want to add power folding mirrors (have the modules and switch) but need the BSM glass. I bought the glass from Benny but I'd like to do power fold at the same time... and didn't want to drop $$$ on oem mirrors... seems the trail ridge for the price are fine... but I need the bsm glass (adding bsm).

Does the oem glass fit in the trail ridge?

So I found power fold tow mirrors on ebay, the correct part numbers, and auctions said they were "perfect" and "new take-offs"...

BOTH showed up with broken plastic housings on the triangle piece that attaches to the door.
They were packed great, it was clearly shipped that way...
So they will most likely be sent back as they're no good to me broken.

On a side note, can the inner plastic piece (the door attached part) be stripped down (from the hinged part) and my stock ones used, motors moved over etc?
Or is it way more work than it's worth?

I wanted to stay OEM, but may just get the A1's and throw on the BSM glass I have for another project.

Do you 100% have to upgrade the door modules when going to lit/folding from standard mirrors?

I ordered new modules for my 2021 Classic to add power folding windows. The existing modules in its doors are 68225100AD and 68225101AD. It was converted to RHD in Australia in December 2021 so it'll probably be a mid 2021 US build.

68225103AD is still readily available but 68225102AD is NLA from FCA, I had to get one from an Ebay reseller.

For some reason all the Mopar parts sellers only list those two modules as applicable up to the end of 2018, yet they all list 68225102/03AD as applicable up to 2023 Classic. Probably just the spare parts not catching up yet. However my 2021 has the 68225100/01AD modules.

My mirrors turned up today as well, off a 2019 4th Gen Laramie (would have been a late 2018 in the USA I guess). Numbers are:

68231242AM (Right)
68338375AG (Left)

Will be interested to see if they fold in reverse. Mine is an Express so has no memory stuff.

Memory feature (MSM, Memory Seat Module) is part of the Laramie/Limited heated/vented seat set and requires additional wiring.

I changed out my mirrors. Mine is a 2021/2 Classic Express Quad cab. Just had powered mirrors in plain black.

I got a pair of powerfold, heated, chrome, puddle, indicator mirrors off a 2018/9 Laramie (see post two above for mirror part numbers).

New modules (102AD, 103AD) as originals were 100AD and 101AD, plus the correct door switch.

Followed instructions for Alfaobd on post 4, copied and pasted below:

Regular Mirror Codes w/Power fold:

Doors Configuration:
> Folding mirrors Present: Set/yes
> Mirror Turn Signals Present: set/yes
> Mirror Approach Lights Present: set/yes
> Electro-chromatic Driver Mirror Present: set/yes
> Electro-chromatic passenger mirror Present: set/yes

Doors Configuration:
> Driver Memory Mirrors Present: yes/set
> Passenger Memory Mirrors Present: yes/set

CustSetMenu 2:
> Tilt mirror in reverse: yes/set

Everything worked except for Tilt in Reverse. BUT I went into the settings menu on the 8.4" screen and went to mirrors. Has a tick box for Mirrors Fold in Reverse. Ticked that and they work.

Mine doesn't have a rear window demister/heater so not sure if the heated mirrors will work or how to turn them on manually, but I don't need them anyway.

One thing I just noticed, my outside temperature is now reading wrong. It's about 20degC but it is reading -36degC. Is this sensor in a mirror? Any clues how to fix it?

Problem solved. Temperature sensor was actually missing from the Laramie mirrors. Guy I got them off must have used it in his Clearview replacements! Just pulled it out of the standard mirror and put it in the Laramie one and all working.
