Rear view mirror upgraded to mirror with auto dim & homelink

[Hardening2753]

This was the second mod that I did. With a custom wire harness it's a 5min job, no tapping into factory wires. I also added an usb power cord on the harness for dash cam. So much cleaner than wiring cable under trims.

Is the dashcam always on or just when the truck is on

Just got the Mirror upgrade done and I love it. Such a simple upgrade but the added features, especially the auto-dimming is so appreciated!

Here’s where I got it - https://www.kiaautoparts.com/oem-parts/kia-auto-dimming-mirror-with-homelink-and-compass-2t062adu01

Here’s the YouTube video I used to install it. This was super helpful -




Any questions let me know!

I'm going to do this mod as soon as the mirror arrive. Thanks.

That looks great except for one thing...won't the mod void the warranty especially for the onboard camera? Those things can cost a pretty penny if damaged.

i didn’t have to mess with any camera. All you have to do is tap into power from the map lights.

Most dash cams can be both.

Care to provide any details on your custom wire harness, etc. I would be interested in that option.

Just received notice from KIA that original part no longer available. Can substitute another mirror with same features and at same price. I wonder about fitment.

I got the same email. At first glance it looks to be the same mirror and it's the same cost. TBD when it comes in.

Anyone know if the Homelink power needs to be on a constant 12V? I would prefer that is is not for security reasons when parking outside my garage. Just wondering if maybe there is a reason for it so it does not lose memory or something like that. Thanx!!

To the OP, great video, very clear and concise. Thanx!!

Thanx Bret, that is the answer I was hoping for.

I just ran a hot and ground down a pillar to the fuse box behind glove box. I did it this way because I added a radar detector in the circut also. Good luck its an easy project. Bret

I’ve already installed the KIA mirror in my Mav, and I just ordered a second mirror to install in my wife’s ‘15 RAV4.
Can any of you point me to videos or (gasp) an actual wiring diagram for the mirror area of that RAV4? Better yet, how about some sort of an adapter wiring plug in thingie.

That is the mirror I bought and works great. So great I installed one in my old Miata- in both vehicles I wired the homelink to the wire with power on, for security. So nice to finally not fumble with garage remotes!
