Anyone know how to disable it? This is on my 04" 1500 truck. with the windows all tinted it thinks it is night time so it goes dark and i can't see out the back at all. And the mirror doesn't have OnStar so there is no button to disable it.

I have an aftermarket Autodimming/Compass/Temp mirror in my T/A - if the stockers are anything like this one there should be an electrical connection with a connector somewhere either right into the back of the mirror, or further up the harness up under the headliner - just disconnect it and mirror should stay clear...

There is a wire that goes to the backup lights that disables it. It was probably not connected when it was installed.
