[QUOTE="Real98roush, post: 15947458, member: 154990"] Installed Gen Tex rear view mirrors in all the cars. Got 2 different models; 453 and 458. One version has a compass the other doesn’t. Both models have auto dimming and homelink. Cobra’s didn’t get the compass model, I put that in the daily SVTF. It’s a simple mod. 2 power wires and a ground. It calls for remote power, constant power, and ground. With the constant power hooked up it allows the homelink to work at all times. I wasn’t comfortable with this since the DD is parked in the driveway. I didn’t like the idea that if someone broke into my car they could gain access to my garage/house. I figured the constant power was needed to remember the programming, so I tested it on the bench. Used alligator clips to connect the mirror pigtail to a battery. Programmed and tested the mirror. Disconnected from the power source and let it sit on the bench for a week. When I installed it with only remote power a week later I found it was still programmed. I spliced both the remote and constant wires on the mirror pigtail to a remote source from the car. The homelink only works with a key in the ignition when wired this way. Below is the original mirror and a Gen Tex without the compass[ATTACH=full]1498736[/ATTACH] The SVTF was a 5 minute install since there’s power and ground for the sunroof [ATTACH=full]1498737[/ATTACH] IG: @sn95mystic SVTP: SN95 Rollercoaster [/QUOTE]
