I have an 06 LT with the Bose system and On Star.
I am new to the Avalanche and Chevy trucks in general.
I found myself as with many others desiring a back up camera.
Would the following ebay item work for me? I realize there is more to it than just the mirror with the screen embedded in it.
I guess I am asking if this is a compatible mirror for an 07 and later avalanche or if it would be correct for the 06

The seller sounds like he would be able to answer this question, but I thought I would throw it out her first.
I hear some of you saying things on other threads about getting the computer reprogrammed for certain features.
I don't really want to go down that road.
Another issue is that my mirror has the compas and the digital temp gauge in the upper right hand corner so I would of course be loosing those to add the back up camera mirror.
I can figure out the wiring etc for this setup and adding the camera wiring power to the reverse lights etc...
Just don't want to mess up the auto dim, auto headlights etc if that is controlled through a sensor in the mirror somewhere.
Any thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Oh and one last thing, I'm not a big fan of adding a little monitor in the cubby hole etc.
