Below is a detailed description of how to perform this mod on your Cadillac ATS, Cadillac CTS. This may or may work on other GM models as it is all OEM parts.
This is an easy mod to do. I would say on a level of 0 being beginner and 5 being expert, a 2. The video is meant to be used with the description below to give you a visual idea to go with the install instructions for easier comprehension for you, or the person installing this mod for you.
Overview: This how to will give you the overall steps needed to convert your normal mirror to an all OEM parts Live View rear mirror.
Installation notes:
This installation was performed on a ATS Sedan. I am not sure if any difference when performing this installation on a coupe. Installation I would rate easy to expert level a 3. It is overall an easy mod with basic tools. Install time should not take you more than an hour and a half at most. After doing it, I could do it again in probably 45 minutes or so.
Parts needed: T-10 torx, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm deep sockets, with extension preferably.
Start with the Mirror itself. To remove the mirror you will need to take the plastic box looking cover off from behind the mirror itself. This separates at the middle. You should be able to squeeze both sides together and it should come right down. You will see little tabs that hold it onto the glass itself. Now take a T-10 torx bit and remove the screw that holds the mirror in place. The mirror will slide out by going upwards towards the roof of the car. But before yanking on it be sure to unplug the mirror itself.
Now with that out of the way you want to remove the A pillar on the passenger side, Both B pillars and C pillars as well so you can drop the headliner.
Start by removing the A pillar on the passenger side, and both B pillars. The C pillars on the sedan you will have to pry open the “airbag” tab and there will be a screw on either side behind it. Next remove all of the “oh sheet” handles. Remove the tab on either side of the handle, then remove the screw and it'll come right out. Now you are ready to drop the headliner. Be careful as you only want to pull down enough on it to drop it as far as needed to get the job done. The sedans are held in on the very back with a small lip. You will have to pull slightly towards the back of the car an down at the same time. There will be a plug coming from either side to the antenna in the middle of the car. They will be behind foam at the connection. Be careful not to destroy the foam disconnecting them as you will reuse it for installation. There is one 10 mm bolt holding the antenna down to the roof of the car. Unscrew this and the bracket and then the antenna will pull out from the top. You are now done with disassembly.
Your new antenna will have the same two connections as the stock antenna, and one extra for video feed. Make sure your roof is clean and clear of any debris and dirt. You want a nice pad for the new antenna to sit and seal. Place the antenna on the roof of the car, and make sure all three connectors are inserted into the hole in the roof. Connect the original two cables you just disconnected.
Connect your third connector to the cable supplied in the kit from www.mods4alpha.com
Put the bracket against the underside of the antenna and reinsert and tighten your 10mm bolt. Make sure it is snug as this will be your barrier between the water staying outside of your car and coming in.
Go backwards through your disassembly and put the headliner back up making sure to clip the rear back in, and work from the back of the car to the front. Install and secure the bolts and handles for the C-pillars. Have the slack from your cable you will be running to the front of the car hanging off the passenger side. As you then move to the B-pillar reinstallation and then A-pillar, make sure this cable is not pinched, but tucked just inside the lip of the headliner. Run this across the front and into what will be behind the black box (first thing you removed) behind the mirror.
Install your new mirror by plugging in the original cable you unplugged, plug in the cable you just ran, and reinstall the T-10 torx bit. Put the black box back in by placing the top part first and sliding the bottom together with it.
You are now done! Reconnect your battery and enjoy your new mirror and its features!
