The best instruction video on this subject. There is nothing left for this installer to guess about. Great job!

Nice video. For those watching do all your soldering and taping before installing the wires also cut your wires at different lengths so you eliminate a big bump when taping. Great addition to your vehicle.

Thanks much for this video, is this mirror model the Auto Dimming Mirror with Homelink & Compass - Kia (2T062-ADU01)?

@dan8220 2 жыл бұрын

I have a question, if you connect both ignition and constant to the ignition, then the garage door function will only work when the ignition is on correct? I don't always park in the garage and done want someone to be able to open the car and then use my mirror to open my garage. My F150 has the home link visor and its live 24/7, but I have an alarm on that truck that's hard to get passed, my Elantra does not have an alarm and if I keep it parked in the driveway and I'm away, that's basically giving them a key to my house. I'd like to wire it so it only works when key is on. thanks for your help, great video, very step by step!

Hello, great videos, Is there a way to make the wiring from the dashcam look better, at least like one wire?

@dial2fast 3 жыл бұрын

You can clean it up with zip ties or wrap the entire length using Tesa cloth tape.

Great video I just bought a 2022 Nissan Rogue SV and this is exactly what I was looking for. The only question I have is will it screw with warranty?

@dial2fast 2 жыл бұрын

Anything you touch or modify will affect the warranty related to that component (if you damage something). This install is fuse protected so unless you do something really bad, there shouldn't be any problems.

Hi can you help me with this im trying to install a homelink mirror for my bmw 3 series which doesn’t have pre wiring

@stevee6335 2 ай бұрын

Great video, I have a slightly less unconventional install I am planning. I have multiple dashcam harnesses that go from dashcam to usb. I was planning on using this harness that goes to my switched on lighter, I also have a constant lighter. The dashcam harness has 2 wires hot and ground. I plan on wiring constant with the switched together on mirror harness and then ground accordingly. I realize my homelink will only work with my car running, which if I am using my garage door 9 out 10 times my vehicle will likely be running. This seems to be the most simple install. Do you see any problems with this? Thank you

@dial2fast 2 ай бұрын

You can wire it to ignition 12V like you suggested. The only thing is you can only use the garage opener when the ignition is on.

@knnthzng419 2 жыл бұрын

Question. does the fuse amp matter? Like if the constant 12 v is 10 amp should i have a 10 amp fuse in each fuse? and then if the switch amp is 15 amp, should i use 15 amp as well oo would 10 amp fuse work for both the swicth and constant?

@dial2fast 2 жыл бұрын

You should put in either the same amp rating fuse or a lower amp rating

@willybehan770 11 ай бұрын

For running the wires down the A-Pillar, doesn't the airbag get in the way? My car has a side curtain airbag that I assume would be in the way of running the wires.

@dial2fast 11 ай бұрын

Route the wire behind the side airbag and down the A-pillar.

Do you know why this needs a constant wire? Is it for the homelink to work with the car off? What happens if I were to wire both to the ignition only? Thanks

@dial2fast 2 жыл бұрын

The constand 12v is to power the Homelink when the ignition is off. It's up to you if you want that or just power it when ignition is on.

Great instructions, thanks! By the way, why is an "ignition 12v" wire needed in addition to the constant 12v wire?

@im_sarge_bro4542 2 жыл бұрын

So the mirror knows when the car is off so it turns off the compass (if equipped), auto dim feature, and front green light. The mirror will use the constant 12v to allow the user to use HomeLink without having to turn the car on.

@Gleeleeglee 2 жыл бұрын

If I don’t plan to use homelink then I don’t need the constant 12 V wire?

@im_sarge_bro4542 2 жыл бұрын

@@Gleeleeglee You should be able to use all other features except homelink without the constant 12v. If you leave that constant wire disconnected, it won’t send any power to the homelink circuitry but may light up the button lights. To save someone the headache in the future, I would recommend connecting it regardless. Finding a constant circuit and attaching a fuse tap to it shouldn’t be too difficult. If you can’t find a constant circuit, you can even connect the constant to the same ignition circuit so homelink is unable to be used when the car is off but work as normal when the car ignition is on.

@Rick.Colorado 9 күн бұрын

Why not wire it to ACC power so when your car is off, no one can open the garage door when the car is parked outside?

@dial2fast 9 күн бұрын

Yes you can wire it to Acc. The way I wired it is how it comes from the factory, and some people want to be able to open/close the garage without turning on the car.
