We wire a autodimming Homelink Mirror to a Toyota 2012 Camry. Luckily the power is easy to get right at the dome console since this car is prewired for mirror.

Retrofitting a Gentex GTX-453 Homelink and Autodimming mirror onto a Camry. This is a popular and easy retrofit for many cars including all Toyota models and other import/domestic brands that use the universal wedge mounting.

I have a 2010 corrolla that I am also installing a new auto dimming mirror using the dome light and not using a backup camera though it's just the light. The dome light is constant power but it turns on and off correct? And I need it to be 12 voltes for it to work right? Where can I get some of these quick connect things you mention?

Don’t use the dome light circuits. They are on a closed loop controlled by the lighting computer on Toyota. Cause lots of them dim up and down. You can test to make sure. Else run a now wire up there. The quick connects can be found at any store or Amazon.

@@TunerwithKids what's up dude? I actually just completed connecting and wiring it up, it took me about an hour thirty minutes. I ended up running the wire accross the headliner and down the pillar into the electrical area underneath the steering wheel,disconnected the 10 pin harness for my exterior mirror controls ,spliced into the 12 V wire and the ground. With two snap lock connectors. When I reconnected the power and started the car it activated immediately perfectly.I calibrated my compass and tested the dimming and everything worked flawlessly. I ended up doing a really clean install using foam tape to keep the wires from moving and used zip ties to fasten the wire to existing wiring along the side of the pillar , then more foam tape to hold the wiring in the inside wall of the fuse area under the steering wheel. It looks more or less factory. the most annoying part ways removing all of the trim and figuring out how to disconnect the clamp holding the pillar against the car And then reconnecting my visors. I'm extremely satisfied, it looks awesome and no problems at all I ended up finding the official Toyota installation guide for the 10th generation Corolla for free with a google search and just followed the steps, Very easy just had to be patient and take my time hours concerned I was gonna break something but fortunately everything went off without a problem now I gotta awesome new upgraded rear view mirror. Thank you for responding to my question I figured it wasn't going to work in that area. I'm not a electrician and doing wiring was nerve wracking but after I studied it for a while I realized that it actually isn't that complicated once you get the basics of what you are doing it just a pathway that you're following. Anyone else is doing this project on a Toyota or similar vehicle I recommend going to that same source on the outside mirror controls as soon as the car gets turned off it goes dark instantly and when the car is on it turns on instantly and it works at the same time that you are adjusting your mirrors there is no risk of draining the battery or having to wait 30 minutes or anything.

Hi Tuner with kids, great job, do you know if this same mirror can work on a older car that has a old style manual flip dimmer/ non power with no wires from mirror , it's my understanding that all of the electronics of the dimmer, homelink,and compass is inside that mirror ,all you need is run wires for power ,or am I wrong,thanks ,hope to hear from you 👍

Yea if it’s a 98 it should be simple. No real electrical issues. The home link is constant power so any dome circuit can work. For dimming you want switched power, maybe if there is sunroof power that can work.
