I've been reading/searching through the forum trying to determine how to find part numbers for side mirrors. I have tow mirrors and would prefer to go to mirrors with Power Fold, BSM, puddle and cameras but would settle for w/o camera if necessary. I tried using a parts site with a specific VIN from a truck that had the above (with cam) but it still lists 12 options per part. As well as not letting you know whether you need the mirror assembly, cap and cover? I understand that I will need new module and switch as well. Teach this old dog how to fish ... any help is appreciated.

I just ordered the mirrors, modules and the new interior piece to power folder the mirrors. My mirrors are colored matched Ivor White
left mirror: 6yj61jwdab
right mirror: 5zk44jwdah
right door module: 68424178AB
Left door module: 68424179AB
door panel switch: 68262252AC

People were using the OB Genie to flash the system to get the power fold option. I am going to my dealer next week to see if they can flash. I think now and days they can. We will see. The OB Genie is $200

I presume the module and switch are the same as you listed; Chrome Mirror part numbers I was given are:
Right- 68276510AH
Left-68462773AB

i found a guy on Ebay but numbers are all so different. I wish there was a way to verify them.

Did you get the mirrors install yet? What the total price with dealer refresh? Want to compare if it cheaper than going infotainment option. Thank you.

Got everything done today and very happy with the result. Good luck to y'all.
So here is the breakdown of what I spent:
Part Number Part Name Price
68262252AC Front Door Switch And Bezel $79.73
68424179AB Door Module, Left Front Door $62.87
68424178AB Door Module, Right Front Door $63.37
68276506AG Outside Rear-View Mirror, Right $156.91
68276507AG Outside Rear-View Mirror, Left $174.42

I also paid $25 for the security bypass cable, $100 for Obdlink MX+ and $56.70 for the AlphaObd software. This I have no doubt I will use again and the above will be offset by anything I recover from the sale of the tow mirrors, modules and switch.

what are your plans with the tow mirrors you remove?
I plan to sell them. But I think the change over is going to take a while. I am trying to get organized on everything I need. The tow mirrors are heated, power adjust, puddle light, and camera. Manual fold.

I am looking to do the same thing - did you swap these out yourself? If so did you run into any snags in the compatibility of the wire harness pigtails?

I didn't read every post on here, but an option for aftermarket mirrors if anyone is looking, check 1A Auto. Their mirrors are OEM quality and not quite as expensive. They have the sport mirrors for our trucks with power folding. They came out with power folding tow mirrors but for the 4th gens. I'm sure they're working on power folding tow mirrors for the 5th gens as well. But I highly recommend them and their products if you're in the market.

Did you get color match mirrors or were they the flat black?
