Cheap auto-dimming, homelink mirror

[BLUE1870]

I will be sending them back. I printed the return shipping label but I keep forgetting it at work. They will be going back some time this week. They actually sent 10 mirrors not 7. I thought it was 7 from what was written on the outside of the box.

Thanks for sending them back. I just got a message that mine shipped out - ordered 10 days ago. According to Quirk Parts, the parts from my order were in the process of being obtained from the manufacturer. Pretty funny.

Scotchlok t-taps or wire tap connectors are the term. There's also regular scotchloks connectors which connect the wires parallel instead of perpendicular and don't require a spade terminal. They're color coded based on the range of wire size they're designed for like butt connectors or other terminals; red, blue, yellow, etc.

They're pretty common for add in electronics although they can cause headaches down the road. They can start to lose connection after a few years or cause problems with the original circuit (a common problem with remote starter installs that don't utilize plug'n'play harnesses). Especially since it's breaking the wire insulation and exposing the wire to potentially develop corrosion within the jacket. So they really should be avoided for any circuits carrying signaling, powering more than a few amps, or any exterior/engine compartment applications.

Thanks!

I do not get my truck for at least another 6 months, and even haven't decided to keep it or not and I still read 5 pages of this thread and almost bought that stupid mirror.

Has anyone actually wired the mirror to the dome lights?

I guess now I am a manufacturer. Maybe I can get a better price on my Maverick now.

Yes, you're right. I ordered from that link and then got a cancellation email a day later. Sorry if I mislead you. I should have updated my post.

It took them a little while to fill my order too. I received mine a couple of weeks ago. Just waiting on my truck to be finished this week.

Looking at their website, I see about 10 different types of rear view mirrors ranging in price from $55 to over $600. Which one did you order? Not all of them have auto-dimming or Homelink capability. Can you provide a part number?
