Installed auto-dimming HomeLink mirror

[MadDog304]

So I ordered the frameless Home link mirror from bobsmirrors.com. Totally pleased with this purchase. I really miss the auto dimming mirror and the Homelink buttons. While at it, they installed a blend mount and wired up for my radar detector.

Nice. Which model is this?

I am planning to add a auto dimming mirror myself to my Maverick so I am wanting the model information on what you bought when you get a chance.

if you search Maverick in the search bar, it will show you several options that will fit the windshield mount. I paid a little more for the frameless mount. HomeLink was every easy to program

I wasn't able to find the cheap Kia mirror from the 2022 posts on this, ended up finding this Hyundai mirror that works great and is still cheap:

I just wanted the frameless one, so I splurged

Sure. I was used to a Subaru one which was almost the same as the Hyundai and found it easier to hit the buttons on the non frameless, a decent low cost alternative.

Following this as I am hoping to install my Auto-Dimming Mirror with Homelink this weekend, I went with this solution on E-Bay, I found out about him in the various discussions here on the subject and others seem happy with his solution:

This guy has a YouTube channel and makes a custom wiring harness that allows you to throw in an Auto-Dimming mirror without splicing into your car wiring, it simply clicks into existing connectors between your over console lights and it's power source. I paid the extra couple of bucks to get one with a USB-C tie in if I decide to do a dash cam down the road. His kit gives you the option of the cheaper framed Auto-Dimming mirror with the HomeLink and a Compass or a more expensive frameless design that has Auto-Dimming and HomeLink.

The install video shows some final connections/splicing that need to be made between the homemade wire harness and the connector wire for the mirror but in the package I received, the guy did that work already which was a pleasant surprise. Check out his YouTube video here:

I just wired mine to some unused fuses in the fusebox.

This looks like a pretty good solution. Did you install it on a 2025?

Not yet, I received it in the mail towards the end of last week, I am hoping to have a chance to install it this weekend with the assistance of co-workers. I am planning to install a bunch of accessories I got including my Diamondback tonneau cover. I am also ordering the interior trim removal tools on Amazon, they're cheap and I don't want to damage the plastic trying to install this.
