But what size screwdriver? is it a torx? what size? mine is 2012 toyota camary xle if that matters
I dont say sizes because every car may have it different. Just try what fits.
@@DIYtime ok, I understand. But I used a small allen wrench and it unscrewed, so I'm good, thank you for responding
👌🏼
Thank you !!! You helped me fix mine ! Great video 👏🏻
Great video! Just what I needed, Thanks!
would you happen to know what PIN connection that is? and is this a RAV4? 3rd gen?
What car did you replace the mirror on?
Lucky that it clips in, most are glued so it's tougher to do. I might have to do a video of how to mine from my Jag, as your video is the only one I have found of someone opening the thing.
For sure.
The mount is glued, but the mirror is set screwed on to that mount.
I ordered a pre-owned rear view mirror for my 2007 IS 250. Since I was using just the replacement mirror, I was able to take the mirror frame off and replace the mirror. Unfortunately, the only thing that was different was the "mirror" wiring. I did not unplug anything else relative to the garage door function from my original casing since my car has the 3 button options. I purchased a mirror withOUT the 3 button option as it was cheaper. It looked brand new but stated it was pre-owned. The mirror fit fine into my original casing, but the wiring prongs on the new mirror did not fit the prong casing for the existing mirror plug/prongs. The endings to the wires are different. So, I don't have wiring connection to my mirror for the auto-dim and locational map. But, the mirror is clear. Not sure if the new wiring prongs can be cut and soldered to fit the casing. A little bummed. I probably should have purchased a pre-owned 3-button rear view mirror exactly as I have, but they were all over $150-$200 and some had the same scratched/blotted mirror. I bought my replacement rear view mirror for $41. But, I used your link and even scrolled a long time trying to find a replacement mirror for my exact rearview mirror and because you mentioned the mirror would fit fine using a mirror without the 3 buttons (garage door openings) which you have and using a mirror with just auto dimming it would work. Must be the year of the vehicle. But thanks for the video. I now can see from my mirror and the door opener works fine. I just lost the auto dim and directional features because wiring plugs/prongs were different and didn't fit.
Thank you good sir.
man I have the same car, definitely doing this over buying a more expensive replacement that already had homelink.
Nice! That car was nice, I got a truck now.
Thank you so much.

gracias bro saludos desde Mexico
My problem is the wiring isn't working my mirror is broken just the wiring is loose on my Chevy Impala 2003 LS
Mine for a 2011 Ford fusion rear view mirror auto dimming has no compass and even Ford parts only wants $200. With no garage door opener on it. They are on the visor.
Thanks 👍🏻😊

Can you power a dash camera through this connection?
You might. As long as it supplies the same voltage as the dash cam needs.
I ordered the mirror you recommended off eBay and it did not fit on my 2008 Lexus IS350😢
You still gotta check compatibility with you particular car. Each car may use different parts based on year, model, engine, trim level, etc.
Which one is the link for the mirror you bought for $30?
Second link in the description.
thanks
What year are you dealing with?.... because the mirror does not split on 2012
2007
is that auto dimming?
Don’t need to remove the screw btw. I do windshields for a living. People lose these all the time. Simply loosen don’t need to remove.
Aliexpress has mirrors
👍

Can I switch to a standard rearview mirror rather than the digital?
Yes, you simply turn off digital mirror and it has regular one.
My mirror just don't auto dim.
