Request: Homelink mirror install
Would like to see a good write-up on this. I'm really gonna miss the Homelink mirror that's currently on my 350Z Enthusiast but won't be on my 370Z base. I'm very paranoid when it comes to any sort of electrical work so I'd love to see someone do it and take pics. Thanks!

^ 1+.
I forgot how helpful the autodim function was on my Altima. I'd tried to remove the stock mirror on the Z yesterday but no luck. It'd be nice if someone could do a step-by-step of the removal and wiring. I dunno, shouldn't this be a standard function on a 30+ grand car? Many thanks in advance.

I just installed mine, took about 20 minutes.
Those instructions are for the 350Z and are what come in the box with the new mirror. They are spot on for the 370, except for the wire locations. The green ignition wire is in the top fuse junction and the red battery wire is in the bottom one, verified with a meter before the install. Here is a pic of which wires you need, other than that, its just as the instructions say.

glad to help! I've never trusted those little clip on wire taps before, but since it was so tight, I decided to give them a try and they actually worked pretty well.

Bump" I am looking to do this one. Anyone have pics on how the wires are run? Directions are kinda confusing as to what to take off. Just did the kick plates from the DIT section and I got to say, this site is AWESOME!

I didn't take any picts, but I ran the cord in the ceiling, then under the driver side A-pillar at the very top, crossed over to the door side of the A-pillar, then temporarily removed the door opening weather seal and placed the cord inside the A-pillar, down to the kickplate area.
I did not have to remove anything on the ceiling and also did not need to remove the A-pillar cover itself or the cover under the steering wheel. I just pushed the cord into the ceiling and A-pillar at the top. It helps to use a squeegee unless you go some long fingernails. Hope that makes sense... |

Installed... have some doubts
Hi, I did the install by myself and had no major issues, ran through the ceiling edge and then pulled the weather strip to insert the cabling into the inner channel. Removed side sills and fuse box cover. (didnt have to remove A pilar cover)
however I noticed when I turn off the car, the mirror doesn't automatically turn off. Is this particular behavior normal in this car?, I did the cabling as suggested in the manual and explained on the pictures (green cable top connector {ignition} and red cable button connector{Battery}). |
