Cheap auto-dimming, homelink mirror

[Milous]

A note for anyone considering the battery-operated wireless "TOYOTA Genuine Corolla & Rav4 Frameless Homelink Rear View Mirror PT374-00210".

I ordered one (as I liked the idea of not having to hassle with wiring) and got it in today (pretty spendy, $145). It installed easily and perfectly onto the windshield of my Maverick.

BUT:
The 3 Homelink buttons are on the bottom of the mirror, you cannot see them from driving position, and it is all but impossible to find by "feel" which of the 3 buttons you want to use. And when you do try and press one of the buttons the mirror will move!

A very poor design by Toyota, the buttons should have protruded more from the bottom, or more logically, been positioned on the front.

Needless to say, the mirror is being returned to the vendor...

Add a drop of silicone or slice a tick mark to the button you want to use.

I had it bookmarked to use when I installed mine. I got it in last week. Pretty easy.

You can check out my Kia mirror some time if you like to see if that one will work for you.
