I know there are several threads on this but... Is there an Auto-dimming homelink mirror that is battery-powered? I see the Toyota one that is not Auto Dimming

I don't think so, but the KIA part isn't really that hard to wire up.

Someone in one of those threads talked about a battery powered mirror but if I remember, and I rarely do anymore, it was expensive.

The issue with a battery-powered one would be when does it turn on/off?

Small batteries that would fit in a mirror don't like heat and the mirror is pretty much unprotected in the sun. Even most decent dashcams today use capacitors for long-term power storage over batteries for that very reason.
