Before i got my vehicle i was planning on getting the Kia mirror with homelink but i got but by the KISS principle. I used some 3M automotive tape and mounted it. Works for me.

you could also buy a more modern mini remote for $20 that has a built in sun visor clip.

This one has removable sun visor clip also and a flat back. I didn't want anything clipped to my visor.

Where did you snag that for $20 and does it work well?

Works great, just like a oem mirror in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing the link. Any idea if the wiring harness that is mentioned in some of the threads is available for purchase?

He stopped making them but his sale thread has his build process and part numbers.

The kia Homelink mirror is the way to go if you have confidence in doing the mod. I have that confidence and will likely eventually switch to it around the time the battery dies on the remote.

One downside of my simple solution is removal for battery replacement will require using fishing line to cut the adhesive tape in the back. Not sure how to get the residue off yet. The 3M tape is the same tape they use to put on the door keypad so it's durable.

RE: How to get tape residue off = try using WD40 on a clean rag. Be sure to shake the can first, then gently dissolve the residue. Use a white rag on the white material.

It's a 70mai. Ran the wires above the headliner and down the A column to the fuse box behind the glove box. Installed their rear window cam also.
