Auto-Dimming Mirror installed

[Chandonnet]

Sorry to bump, but I just got my mirror in the mail, but not sure how the wiring goes. I've seen a few people post pictures, but they all seem to be the nicely finished ones, so I don't know what wires go where.
I got the auto-dim/home-link one.

I explained it in the first post

You did, sorry, I should have specified. The mirror I got has four wires and I believe yours had three, so I was confused as to how mine hooked up. I have the Gentex 1142 model which also comes with a fourth wire to disable the auto-dim feature when it receives a reverse signal. I think I have it all figured out now.

anyway you could explain the 4 wires for me ? I also got the 4 wire one and im wondering how to connect them. You could PM me If you’d like. It’s winter here so I haven’t had a chance to install it yet. Thanks

I also ordered some appropriate Molex connectors from Mouser to make an inline harness with the factory camera, and also wired in a heavy duty 12v to 5v USB converter for a dashcam into the same harness. I don't like tapping into factory wires if I don't have to, and this makes the installation completely reversible if needed.

Same for me, bu

t I used a Ford Fusion mirror

If the question has a typo and the mirror is actually a gentex 1124:

Edit: sorry just reread and saw that you figured this out.

What color are your wires? And what model mirror is it? (look on the back of the mirror)

I bought the KIA mirror, and want to install myself. I used to do my own car stereos/speakers but it's been over 20 years, so I'm a bit rusty. The only feature of the mirror I want is the dimming part. How would that vary from this install? Would I still need to separate the wires or can the homelink and dimming go together? A little nervous about this install, don't wanna muck it up.

I also purchased the auto-dimming mirror last week and it arrived with all the necessary hardware. Hopefully it will be as easy as the one I installed years ago on my 2003 Mazda B3000. The only issue I have at this moment is waiting for the damn truck to arrive.

Go to search. Type in cheap auto-dimming home link mirror. Look for thread with 61 pages. Lots of info on installation plus how to remove trim.

If you have the four-wire mirror, it's this from the mirror wires -

Black Wire = Ground, Green Wire = HomeLink system power, White Wire or Pinkish Wire = Compass and Mirror power, Grey Wire = Auto-dim disable (takes Reverse signal).

I skipped the Grey wire - so for my setup, I did:

black from mirror to black dome light wire.
green from mirror to white/green dome light wire.
white/pink from mirror to purple/white sunroof wire.

Anybody have a bead on the Kia (A7062-ADUP1) in stock? I just placed another order and it got immediately canceled again due to backorder. Stupid systems still don't show backorder status before you buy.
