$10 Kia rear view mirror install w/ homelink, auto dimming, compass (updated w/ videos & pics)

Update 7/26/23:

Here is a first YouTube video.






Update: Preliminary Install Results posted below

My $10 Kia rearview mirror (part # A7062-ADUP1) has arrived. Homelink, auto dim and compass for 10 bucks.

I have a Bad lands without too much optional electronic gadgetry. Which I’m happy about. Since when it breaks, it’s a ripoff to replace. I really don’t like the garage opener remote so this is a feature I really want.

Preliminary install. Went through the steps. Reassembled it as my daughter would like us to do a YouTube video.

Here are a few pics. I am not sure where I want to source 12v+, 12v+ switched and ground just yet.

Tools needed are Torx I think T20 and hand driver, plastic trim panel tool, 7mm socket/ratchet or nut driver. Needle nose. Torx bit fits both mirrors and the 2 inner mirror mounts screws behing small cover. 7mm socket fits main mirror mount after unsnapping plastic trim. Put mirror back to normal position and swing downward after removing 7mm to remove mirror. Needle nose squeezes clips that trim out top latch positions. Unsnap top a pillar corners from center panel. Center panel unsnaps easily. Wire loom is attached to center trim panel/switch panel so takes a little to remove it from the vehicle. More pics and video to follow once electrical is decided on.

Good luck!

Does the sun visior still conflict with the rear view mirror?

That was never a real issue. It was just people who didn't know how to adjust the rear view mirror appropriately.

That’s helpful…..

Edit - haaaaaa! He’s 100% correct.

You can adjust your rear view mirror to the right, the whole thing shifts right. That will solve your issue.

What’s the PN on this one?

Neat, Assuming all the electronics to make the homelink and compass are housed inside the mirror and not fed somehow through the KIA?

So standard package without power to the factory Bronco mirror?

I don’t have lux with lit vanity mirror, homelink in visor, 360 camera, auto AC. I assume yes is the answer to your question.

Ha ha ha. OMFG. I never realized it had a second knuckle. Thanks!

They are

They are, the same homelink auto dimming mirror (with or without compass) is supplied to nearly every automaker. Back in my nissan days it was popular to swap an autodimming mirror with homelink and outside temp display from an altima into the frontiers and xterras that didn't come with one.

You do realize your entire vehicle is an electronic gadget? People still have this mindset in 2023?
