I just bought my 2011 Big Horn quad cab 4x4 from a second owner and I’m trying to figure out what type of mirror this is. Is it a rear view monitor? I don’t see a small rectangular section where normal the display would show up. If it’s not Seems like a lot of wires for just a simple mirror. Also there is a center button with 2 lights on either side.
Also, is anyone familiar with the wires and the functions in the back? Like which color is for what? Thanks in advance

Auto dimming maybe.

Pop your VIN into this LINK and looks at all the standard features and options that were included on the truck when new.

Can't tell from that angle just exactly what ya got there. Take a pic straight on from the front so we can see the buttons. There's no display screen inside that mirror for sure.

That is an auto dimming mirror with dual microphones on top for the truck’s Bluetooth system, that’s why it has so many wires. The button on the front will activate and deactivate the auto dimming function. One of the lights is the power indicator for that feature. The other light isn’t a light at all, but is the light sensor for at night to determine if someone is behind you and to dim the mirror accordingly.
