Installing 2022 Silverado Tech in my 2015 Duramax!

[@matt13ross]

Big thanks to Ridge for sending me this wallet and supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out! > ridge.com/ross13

[@jruizh793]

Hey Matt I didn’t find the radio link could you share that

[@eliudsalinas4488]

Your video really helped me with a few parts during my installation. Thanks again for the step by step process. Also, for anyone wondering if OnStar still works after the swap, it does. You just have to go through the voice commands from the steering wheel button.

[@1slo13tahoe2]

Was going to ask that same question good question by the way

[@SanSabath]

I’ve got one of those live rear view mirrors in my 2021 Silverado and I love it. Never have to worry about your view being locked by chairs, people, tint. And it’s a nice wide angle !

[@matt13ross]

I absolutely love it! Loved it in my ZR2 as well.

[@Zach_CB]

I really enjoy your videos. I have a 2016 GMC 2500HD gasser. Love seeing you fixing this truck up. Keep up the good work.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks 👍

[@jeasonb916]

Now all you need is front view camera and side mirrors camera and it will be all up to date 👍🏻 , truck is looking sweet

[@matt13ross]

Hrm, wonder how hard that is to retrofit?

[@escalante713]

Your screen has options for that so it shouldn't be too hard ​@@matt13ross

[@lilyjohnalexs]

Great video, only thing I would have recommended was running it along the passenger side or driver side by taking the weather stripping down it would have made it to the back with out all the extra stuff.

Loved this video and now I just purchased with your links to update our 2019 Sierra!!! Rock On!!!

Nice!

Glad I found this vid. Did the 3rd brake light camera. Didn't get it as cheap as you got but it's done. Had to do some additional mods but it works great! Nice work on the vids!!

[@DarthDave87]

Brother, I’m loving that truck. I do have a suggestion, you could vinyl wrap all the chrome and give it a white out look.

[@matt13ross]

I'm planning on some color match in the future! I may try vinyl wrap as a temp fix.

I’m in Delaware and might look that dent guy up. My 22 rst silverado came from the lot with a small dent and since I didn’t see it at the time of purchase they basically blew me off about it. I’m loving that high country tho

Been wanting to do this with my Coloradoz you're just pushed me to do it even more!

Surprised me how easy it was! Going to do it in my next truck if it doesn't have it for sure. Plus, it wasn't that expensive.

Just found your channel and I’m enjoying this build process. Not sure why the wheel haters are out in droves though haha. Although not a look I’d want on my personal truck I’ve always appreciated this look. I’m just more of a tire to wheel guy personally. Only thing I’ll say about the wheels is bless you for having polished wheels haha I love how polished look but definitely don’t have the patience to ever own a set because of the maintenance

[@cleanasdirt6832]

I've got a 16 Camaro that I want to try this on now! Buddy of mine has the 22 with the review camera mirror and I love it. So here's to hoping! Nice build btw, love the truck!

I have the rear view mirror in my 2021 I’ve replaced the camera 3x 4th time i used waterproof silicone to prevent condensation in the camera lens 5 months later no issues

[@robertcohen5263]

Where did you silicone? Around the camera?

[@matt13ross]

I didn’t have issues with my ZR2 thankfully.

[@jaywhittemore5878]

I’m definitely doing that mod

[@NGGPeter]

Nice retrofit! Personally I always turn these digital rear view mirrors off if I ever drive a car with one. Every time you look at it, your eyes have to readjust to look at something up close whereas with the traditional mirror your eyes are already adjusted to look far away

[@ricardofuentes9813]

Simple and clean clean set up dude. I wish I could do that to my 2013 Chevy avalanche I want to compete with the EV that they made mine. I’m gonna come with the Silverado HD heavy duty

[@matt13ross]

Who knows, maybe the mount and everything is the same in 2013?

[@nicholasbaumgartner5330]

Next, you can update the gauge cluster, kind of like the one in the 16-19 denali. It has the 7in screen in middle

[@matt13ross]

That’s the plan after some other mods.

[@Blitz0065]

I'd love to figure out the power requirements for the mirror and try this on an even older Silverado. As long as it wasn't using any BCM information.

[@matt13ross]

I think it would work with simple key on power / ground.

[@aslee143]

Hey Matt, been a subscriber for a while and enjoying the content. Some mods I'd like to see done are: Side mirror puddle lights, grille integrated lightbars, led fog lights, metal bumpers, rock sliders, and fender flares. Maybe even some power upgrades and exhaust too. Can't wait to see what you have planned!

[@matt13ross]

Power upgrades coming. No metal bumpers or off road stuff for this truck though, its not an off road build. The next ZR2 though...

[@alexl431]

Man.. now I wanna do this to my 18 Colorado ZR2

[@matt13ross]

If I still had my Colorado I would do it for sure!

[@geebeee04]

[@mrkody24]

one question and one statement . 1 what about the OnStar buttons /does this mess with the trucks and 2 from the video it looked like you ripped the seal on the light while cutting the plastic . hope that holds up .

[@matt13ross]

Still has a seal. Idk about Onstar, I don't think people use that anymore...

are you ever going to try installing the heads up display?

[@JFISH222]

Awesome content man! Do you happen to know how hard it would be to retrofit this in the 22+ models? I have the refresh at4 without the camera package so I’m not sure if I would have to run that wire all the way to the mirror…im not too sure how it would work if I were to try and pull the camera view on the screen 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@matt13ross]

I’d imagine pretty easy. You can direct swap the mirror and brake light with the camera already in it. Probably just need to run the 1 wire above the headliner.

[@jayf8685]

Same man same :/

[@eclecticgentleman]

The mirror is cool and I think I'm going to do it on my 2016 GMC Sierra Denali. Just curious if you ran across any good 360 camera systems?

[@TheAwareHuman]

Hello. Thank you for sharing your DIY. One question- Why’d you choose the Silverado over a Ram? I’ve been looking into getting a truck and I have been leaning towards the Ram mainly for its ride. The Silverado has a jarring ride quality. What was it for the Silverado that did it for you? Was it the Looks?

[@matt13ross]

I've always been a Chevy guy. The GM trucks usually ride better than Ram and Ford because of IFS. My second choice would be a Cummins though.

[@TheAwareHuman]

@@matt13ross thank you. What’s IFS?

[@TheAwareHuman]

Independent front suspension? Isn’t that the case for ram as well? In fact Ram had rear coil spring suspension (can option air suspension too) but Silverados and F-150s have live axle leaf spring.

[@matt13ross]

Yea IFS. Ram and Ford HD trucks had solid axles in the front.
