We review 4 different Lexus/Toyota/Kia Gentex autodimming Homelink mirrors and identify the similarities and differences. We also go over how to crack open the mirror for modifications.
For one one of my mirrors I plan to use on my Lexus, I didn't like the compass window in the corner, so I swap the glass from a hidden compass version over.

Hello, i sourced a gentex 1074 mirror. Can you help me find out its connector details. It has a 12 pin connector builtin. The mirror came with a small wiring harness(10cm) attached with it. This wiring is having a 10 pin connector at the end

Your mirror rattle at all?

@TunerwithKids 10 ай бұрын

Nope, lots of times rattle is due to loose Torx screw. For the 06-09 IS, there was once a TISB for rattling mirror where they replaced it for free. I had it done when car was like 2 years old but it was for hell of it plus my friend was a Lexus tech so free warranty work for him.

@TunerwithKids 10 ай бұрын

No, the rattle is loose mount to windshield. Not sure what other rattling you have.

Just some constructive criticism , but why would you have the video in fast forward at the most difficult part?

@TunerwithKids 4 ай бұрын

It’s the boring part that takes patience. My audience wants to see the meat and potatoes but I also show the FF stuff. Better than TikTok reels that show before and after.

@russelloppenheimer3970 2 ай бұрын

A long, rambling video, then when he gets to titled content, actually opening mirror, its sped up so you can't really see what its like to perform the actual steps.
