Doh! Thanks.

. Was looking at the wrong model while comparing ebay mirrors...

I think I'm going to get one too. So a newb q on programming it... I have a G35C that has homelink and programmed. I thought you had to reset the garage door after you send the signal to it to program (has rolling codes).

How do I maintain the homelink rolling code on the G? Do I need to reprogram that car again when I program the Z?

you will be fine, it will still know the G and any other openers that are programmed.

so i bought the universal one and hoping to get it in a few days. i dont need to get anything else right? no wedge mount adapters or camlock kit?

the kit includes harness and the harness cover. i think it was called Genk45a or something.

Mike · 09-21-2009, 08:02 PM

that I don't know, as I bought mine from nissan. It mounted on the original metal wedge that is attached to the windshield.

yah, i guess i'll find out soon enough...

will keep you guys posted...

kenchan · 09-23-2009, 07:24 PM

Looks exactly like the Nissan one I bought, should be eZ

dcrew1x · 09-23-2009, 08:27 PM

That's the exact one I purchased as well

Good luck on the install

kenchan · 09-23-2009, 09:31 PM

Thanks guys. Yah, the install was pretty easy.

I had to trim the harness cover by about 1", no biggie.

The non-dimming mirror was kinda tricky to remove but if you pry off the plastic cover you'll see where the tab is holding the wedge mount. I used my long nose plier to pull the tab up while sliding the mirror off the mount. Was kinda scared I was going to crack the glass if I used too much force with just the screw driver going at that tab.

I need to calibrate it and program the homelink still, but it works.

Want to thank everyone who supported with the links and the pict of the fuse junction harnesses to tap into.

i programmed the homelink which was easy and did not screw up my program on my other car's homelink so i was real happy with that.

also went out motoring to find a spot to do the circles to calibrate the compass... while
looking for a decent spot with minimal visibility from cops (since it would probably look kinda suspicious doing circles in a vacant parking lot in the middle of the night) i look up at the mirror and notice that the mirror calibrated itself.. lol so i guess just drive around the block a few times... checked the zone and everything's good to go.

got home, cleaned up the mirror and glass and now im waiting for my touring pedals to come in tomorrow via my dealer.
