I have wired 10 Mavericks, the way I posted in this thread and not one has had an issue...
I mentioned that others had no problems.
I was replying to the poster that was having a problem and offering my experience.
Maybe you can reply to that person and offer your experience?

Thanks for everyone's input on this, I just did mine.

A few things I felt I could clairfy for others:
  • The black/white-striped wire provided by Kia connects to the purple wire. That's for ignition power.
  • The center wire provided by Kia connects to the yellow wire for constant power.
  • The wire far opposite of the black/white-striped wire connects to the black/blue wire for ground.
Had to wire my mirror in my Lariat and your post was a big help. Short and succinct and exactly the info I needed for my three wire cable.

This is probably the wrong forum to bring this up but......the homelink feature seems to be an imortant part of this mod. My house is ~25 years old; how do I know if the GDO is homelink enabled?

It's not a matter of being "homelink enabled," it's that homelink can mimic 99% of the signals out there, including rolling codes and other security features. If your garage door opener is older, there is probably a better chance it's compatible I would say.

Yup, you program the Homelink with your old remote, then you program the GDO to accept the Homelink as a new remote.

Does it seem like the arm angle will have any issues? I wonder if you can pop out the arm from the Ford mirror and pop it onto the Kia? I wonder if that little ball joint is standard too.
I feel like the existing Ford arm is already too short. I would like the mirror to sit up a bit higher so it does not block any view out the front.

Not looking at a mirror arm right now, but typically these mirror arms are double-jointed - one pivot on the glass end and one on the mirror end. Not sure if most people realize that. Should be able to get a lot of adjustment out of them, just might have to move the other pivot.

It does pivot at both ends, and I have adjusted it as high as it will go.. I just wish it was a little higher, as a taller person it kind of blocks a bit of my downward view.

In reviewing all the posts on this subject, I found four different, but similar mirror models and did some serious searching for availability. After waiting 2+ days for response to my inquiry about aforementioned mirrors being in stock, here is what I have found.

Yes, available in stock (although they did not indicate how many):

No response to availability, but may have:

No Stock:

Hope this can be of some help if you are looking to install this option. If I get any additional information on the above, I will update this post.
I clicked on each link, and only the one I bolded (and turned yellow where possible) showed as in stock. But when I ordered it, I received a cancellation email within less than 20 minutes.

What they do have available is this mirror assembly (for a 2014-18 Kia Soul), that looks identical. Has anyone tried one of these? Not as affordable as $11.49, but still under $70.00

In regards to the Kia Mirror, all you need to do is go to any Kia dealership website (they are all basically the same) and search with the model # of the part number on the website. This is what I do here in PHX and I can always find the mirror at least 1 or 2 dealerships. It might be slightly more than the ultra-cheap price.

Installed the Kia mirror in my 23 Lariat Hybrid today. The hardest part was pulling the overhead light housing down. I swore it was going to break. The neighbors in the cul-de-sac probably thought I was drunk, driving around the circle three times to calibrate the compass.

Just purchased this for under $20 for anyone else interested. This seems to be a pretty generic gentex mirror that comes standard on numerous vehicles. Auto-dimming, homelink, compass.

I was looking to order one of these Kia Mirror's but both links state that they are discontinued. Anyone have another link to a site that has them for cheap or does someone have an extra?

Go to your local Kia dealer and see if the either have one or can track one down for you.

Each kia dealer has them, just go to the local kia dealers website, and search for it.
