Exact same process must replace bcm with uplevel and follow the directions to the T or it will not work correctly and the rear windows on the truck will not work correctly. Major PITA

01WS6/tamu I have a 2007 classic Silverado LT with the power folding mirrors and want to install a set of the power extending mirrors from a 2004 LT. The mirrors will extend, but will not retract. What is necessary to make them retract also?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Probably need to reflash the drivers and passenger door modules for correct option code for power extend haven't ever messed with power extend towing mirrors. Only DL3 signal/power fold.

When they flash the modules, do they just hook into the OBD2 port with a tech 2? I have custom programming for my ECM and want to make sure that it doesn't effect that.

As long as they do not reflash the pcm the act of programming other modules in the truck will not effect your custom tune in the pcm.

Ok, Thank you. Do they just use a Tech II?

Couple questions... I have a 2012 GMC Sierra. Since the harnesses that plug into the bottom of the window switch are different from the window switch that has the power folding mirror (pic below) I need the different harnesses that are for a databus wired truck... correct? Will these harness just need to run from the BCM and to each new switch? (I already have the driver but I will need the passenger too if I am reading correctly...)
Also, if using a Tech II scan tool do I still need a vin from a different truck with the power folding mirrors optioned from the factory?
What exactly will need to be reflashed aside from the DL3 mirrors (radio? BCM? rear back up assist?) Thanks again and this is a great and extremely helpful write up you have done.

what is involved on swapping the harnesses from the BCM to the doors? Do I just need the 2 harnesses? THanks

There is no way to relearn it you must replace the XM receiver with a new never programed receiver. The new xm module will then learn the vin of the truck with the DL3 option once it is installed and the new receiver setup procedure is done using the tech 2 under the special functions menu. Once the bcm is flashed you have to go to special functions in the bcm and select SDM relearn so the airbag will function. EDIT IF your truck has rear park assist this module must also be replaced with a brand new never programmed module because it is VIN locked to the BCM just like the XM module for god know what friggin reason.
Really need to know if using a Tech II scan tool if I still need a donor vin and if the XM being locked out would be relavent... (Im thinking with the Tech II all one has to do is navigate to the corresponding item and turn it on(?) yes? no? )

Thanks so much
