Convex Main Mirror Upgrade?

Registered just to see if I could try an get in on these too. Hate towing my ghost trailer and I'm really missing the boost auto parts GM style mirrors I had on my 4th gen. If I didn't have the 360 cameras on my new laramie those would've been the 1st mod lol.
 
There is no number listed on their page or past emails. Instead of just hitting "reply" on my last email to Suma, I submitted "contact us" message on their website. Hopefully, I hear back soon and will be able to update everyone.
here you go my friend, 425-922-1174
 
That is excellent news. I got me some of those stick on spotters from amazon to hold me over so I can flip down my moose antlers, but I'm really looking forward to having convex glass in the main mirror. Also managed to talk to an old acquaintance that has some of the blue coated mirrors on a few vehicles, said they really help with the idiots who still think 8000K hids in reflectors are cool around here.
 
IF the 2023 mirrors aren't backwards compatible with 2022 (@brv10), then I'll be interested in a set of these. Thanks @Aaandroger for doing the legwork to set this up.
They should fit, the electrical is always the big question.
 
Agreed. Fingers crossed the module(s) involved can be flashed.

The door panel switch change and wiring is likely to be a fairly simple @Jimmy07 thing. However, the potential snag there could be the LIN bus signal to extend the mirrors. Everything pretty much runs on BCM input/output signals that might not exist in the older BCM's.
 
Good point, that is something that's not there now.

The motors are in the mirrors correct? Are the stops current sense or mechanical?

So to run the DRVM and these new mirrors, I'd have to wire up a spare 2023 BCM... (Idea credit to Jimmy).

Need someone to program an Arduino that can do input/output for these "new" functions.

My theory is that I am dealing with manual mirrors already when it comes to extending, so I wouldn't sneeze at the new set in manually-extendable form if it means I can see behind me!
