New Rearview Mirror
 

Just completed the installation of a Gentex GENK41a Auto Dimming with HomeLink. Had to buy an adaptor for the windshield bracket. The rest was wiring and a little time. I tapped the switched power supply from the cigarette lighter in the glove box, the ground and continuous power from the interior overhead light. The overhead light has a new led bulb as well (3022-WHP4).
Programmed the 3 garage doors and cleaned the mirror, she's ready to drive:)
Ebay Complete kit $110, Amazon Adaptor $22.00

pics?

Yeah, don't see the pics either... Could be my work Bluecoat though...

can you post the link to the adapter as I need to get this also.

NICE! I was wondering why the FR-S doesnt have it as an option.. well.. perhaps next year.. but great fix.. Will it stay on though over time? Is there a warranty or guarantee?

I hope it stays, warranty is from Gentex for part.

Very nice, that's a bargain for somebody that wants to add this themselves. That appears to be the identical part to the one I paid $280 port installed for.

That is a fair price, the labor is worth paying for.

Thanks dude

So do you know where the factory compass mirror hooks up at? On the impreza body there is a harness under the roof liner on all the cars and you just have to pull it out. Did you look to see if this was under the liner at all?

I do not
The only visible wires under the roof liner in the overhead light opening were:
The three wires for the overhead light, black -, green + constant, white + switch
The two wires for the bluetooth microphone, black , red

FWIW, it looks identical to the Subaru Impreza/Forester/BRZ adapter part h501ssa040, and that's under $10 from online Subaru dealers. Just make sure you're buying something else, so that you don't pay $10 for shipping of a $10-part.

In the BRZ it's deep to the passenger side (and back a bit). You have to reach wrist-deep into the opening after you popped the map light.
