Hello everyone,

I noticed the compass does not offer a home link setup. I was going to add a gentex Unit yet I am unsure if this is possible. I don’t see any wiring for my auto dimming mirror so I assume it would be in the actual ball socket.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks

I was just discussing this with my wife (since I seem to have lost one of our remotes years ago and my 200 had Homelink)... Think I'm going the easy route and buying a programmable remote, but I'm interested in what you find out!

I haven’t been able to see any wiring on the current auto dim mirror. Yet I am going to remove the plastic surround and see what’s behind. Will keep this updated.

So I did a little bit more of an investigation on the mirror. It seems that the connector is a 12 pin. But the biggest issue is the fact of that the mirror arm to the windshield is about 6 inches long. I am going to see if I can do a little bit of investigation to see if there’s a direct replacement that will fit this mirror and set up with home link and auto dimming see images below.

I also came across this I may utilize this option somewhere maybe under the dash?

I think this is the spot for the retro fit ladies and gentlemen.

Are you taking out the map light and the switches for the lights? Also, isn't the mic in there?

No I’m going to add it directly to the forward portion of the console.

Have you installed it yet? Did the plan work?

Replying to refresh the thread. Were you able to install? I am curious about this and would love to install in my 2019 if it works. Great idea!

Home link Retrofit

Hello all, Finally got around to getting the homelink installed. Some people may say who cares, I have a few garages I access so this is very helpful. Anyway here are some shots. Looks pretty factory IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did the install not long after I purchased the vehicle. I used power from the map light, as it is actually 12 volts, and not the CANBUS 3-5 volts, like my 16 had. I am at work now, once I am home I will repost the pics (maybe you can try a search, it might be found from my post from last year).
I also mounted it forward of the map lights. It is a bit snug, but with some finesse, it will fit.
I used the generic 3 button Homelink.

Here is a quick view from my older post. Much like what Musclze did, just with a different style of Homelink . It is a tight squeeze, but it will fit. I also had to add a shim to each button, to make the buttons function, being the plastic is thicker than the visor, it usually resides at.

12 volts is fed from the map light pigtail.
