SMH!! You can't be serious???? GM has made a car that if sold by a foreign manufacturer would easily be over $100K! They have spoiled people like you! If you wanted it so badly maybe you should have paid more for a higher package.

I bought a used one on ebay. It is a 1 minute plug and play install.
You can also check the parts suppliers as to cost. They may be even cheaper than ebay. They were on the homelink visor.
Personally didn't want heads up or heated/ ventilated seats. Memory seats are OK but have them in other cars and don't use them much.
So.. I saved about $3,800. and spent it on Nav/camera and Magnetic ride!

This forum can be rather brutal, but it would seem that if you buy a bare bones car (1 LT) you should not expect to get every option available. That is why it is cheaper. It is also why some of us pay extra for the 2LT and 3LT packages. Different strokes for different folks, but you picked out the package and the GM website is very clear on what is included in each package. IMHO, compared to previous generations, the 1 LT is pretty well equipped. Having said that, I wanted everything (except Z51), so I shelled out a few extra buck and ordered a 3LT.

TBH, I've never been a huge fan of auto dimming mirrors anyway. They never seem to dim all the times I want them to. I wish they had a manual dim button to force them to dim when "I" feel they should, rather than when some programmer at GM thought they should.

As mentioned above, just add one. Many save a few bucks by buying the 1LT's and non-Z51's, then add some of he 2LT/3LT/Z51 upgrades.
