Installing a HomeLink Auto Dimming Mirror into My NC Miata!

Ever since I got my NC Miata the rearview mirror has been delaminating. I finally picked up a Gentex HomeLink mirror from a Mazda 6 and got it wired in and installed! The process took longer because I couldn't figure out the wiring, but once it was in, I couldn't have been happier.

Nice video, great content and well organized as usual. You *DID* jinx the whole thing when you said "...should be pretty easy.." at 1:28

Probably should ' ve turned the dome light off when demonstrating the dimming feature. I'm impressed at your never give up attitude when tackling a new job.

Thanks for you useful video 👍. Hello I must replace my mirror on my mx5 nc 160ch. Do you know which interior mirror is compatible? I'm looking for a used one. Thank you

How did you disconnect the wire from the mirror ? Is there a tab like a phone Jack to squeeze to get that out?

Will this work w/ the Liftmaster internet-enabled opener? Will it work on my NC1?

@ColoredinLight 4 жыл бұрын

I have no idea about the garage opener you use but yeah it should work on an nc1

You can go to a junkyard and find these they came in a lot of cars, I have no idea what the reverse thing is , just installed one in my Sentra

Any plans to also do the side mirrors? The M6 has heated and dimmed side mirror options available.

I have aftermarket mirrors now

@@ColoredinLight which ones did you end up going with? I'm probably gonna be looking to mod mine with cameras or lane watch, but all ideas are good

Hey J, My Nc1 is base model and doesnt have power door lock. Which fuse slot should i tap into. Can you help? And does it has to be Mazda 6 mirror or just any Gentex 313?

@ColoredinLight 4 жыл бұрын

I retapped to the accessory fuse since I didnt want the mirror on all the time. I got a mazda one because I figured it would be closest to stock but I'm not positive

@martinngo154 4 жыл бұрын

Colored in Light correct me if i am wrong. Accessory fuse is #2 top down right? There are 3 wires from the mirror? Red, black and yellow? Please walk me thru this. I just ordered from ebay the exact model of your. (I guess) lol. Should be here in couple days. Thanks for the video man. I like ur videos alot.

@ColoredinLight 4 жыл бұрын

Should be it, fuse diagram is on the back of the cover to double check. I go over which wires went where in the video

@zmarko 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Jackson, do you know the model number for the mirror you bought? I bought one a few years ago to do this same thing, but mine didn't come with the pigtail of the wiring, and I was having trouble finding one online.

@ColoredinLight 4 жыл бұрын

Mine is a gentex 313

I found a Gentex ZTVhL3 with the compass. Looks like it should work. Great video.

You can get the one for the 2020 cx9, it's frameless and has auto dimming and homelink.

I hope to one day get an NC. Love the mirror though that is amazing haha! I made sure to subscribe! Maybe you could check out my NA6 Miata build on my channel and let me know what you think of my content!

@f5fstop Жыл бұрын

Look up the word FOCUS. Might be the worse instructions. If there is a reverse sensing wire, when you go into reverse it UN-DIMS the mirror to allow you to see better what is behind the vehicle if viewed via the mirror. Again...bad!!!!

Oh no! I'm sorry to have upset you. Happy to let you know I never accidentally backed into anyone while I had this installed. Also this is not an instructional video
