Auto Dimming Mirror from Subaru with HomeLink or not?
I have thinking on change my current rear view mirror with a Subaru one and now is the time to do it. but (there is always a but) I am not sure about which one should I buy.
I was looking here but there is a lot of them. I am assuming because BRZ and FRS/86 are siblings any will works. I am willing to get one of this two or any of the shipper ones:
The only advantage I am seeing so far is the HomeLink stuff but again how I can be sure it will works 100% with the one we have in the community where I live? This is kind of a standard or what? I use a card to open the gate which sometimes is annoying. Can I get some help? Which one would you buy? PS: Thanks in advance Last edited by reynierpm; 02-11-2018 at 05:02 PM. |

Cards are probably different than signals but I dunno. I do know my homelink stopped working for my garage when they replaced the garage opener with a new model. The new model uses a different set of frequencies or something. The good thing was my hand held opener works from further away now. The bad is that i would have to buy some signal adapter for my homelink to work and my garage opener can now be open from my apartment by accidentally hitting the button because the remote is more effective—too effective.

If you don't have dark rear window tint the auto dimmer works great. Aside from that, the garage door works every time for me.
Not sure about gates, depends what remote system they use.

Well this is a good point since I do have a tint on the rear window which makes me think if the whole dimming thing will works!

I have the one in your first link, and love the auto dim, but do not have tint. My garage door opener woks, for the most part. There are times I can open my garage door from 2-3 houses away when coming home, but have to sit and hold the button for a few seconds before by garage door will respond when backed into my driveway.

Took a little extra work, and would have been easier with a second person, but home link works, and so do the door opener remotes. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk |
