Welcome to my DIY Garage Opener and Ford Auto Dimming Mirror project!
[Edit 4/13/25:
The totally changed the camera connection, so the ‘22 method will not work on ‘25s. I tested the power at the humidity/temp sensor that is up there, and it was not switched power. The overhead console plug is the same, but I still did not want to use it. So I had to break down and run power all the way down the A-pillar
When running it down the A-pillar, I followed the wires already in there, and zipped tied and cloth taped it at the same mounting points. I wanted confidence that I wasn’t interfering with the airbag. At the fuse box, I soldered it to the wire on the fuse tap I already had for my Auto S/S board (see link below). For ground, I just screwed it into the roof. There is a nice curved support piece that runs through there, with plenty of space for a screw.
I did switch the button cover to black. I had bought a used console off eBay and put that in my ‘22 when I traded it, to save redoing that.]
I know there is the KIA mirror way to do this (KIA mirror thread), but I had already purchased the parts prior to getting my Maverick and the KIA mirror thread existing. Plus, I didn't want to worry about the mirror moving when if I press the homelink buttons on the mirror too hard.
Even if you do the KIA mirror route, this puts all my information about the creating the wiring harness into one place; versus my multiple posts in the KIA mirror thread.
While this is working just fine in my Maverick, realize this is buyer beware. No warranty expressed or written. Use it at your own risk. With that out of the way, if you have any questions let me know.

For those of you looking for other cars to get a mirror from, since the KIA one seems to be sold out, realize there are different versions of Homelink. This is important if you have a newer Liftmaster or Chamberlain, as you want to make sure that you have version 4. You can determine the version by looking at then mirror’s model number (or other stampings on it). They typically end with HL3 or HL4, with HL4 being version 4. The change over is somewhere around 2015, but not cars started the change over that early.
