Need Help

Could use some help here.

Picked up my 2009 Z last night. It has the homelink mirror with the buttons on it for auto dimming, etc. I noticed it wasn't auto dimming on the way home and figured I just need to check the manual or something.

Checked the manual and tried all the buttons and nothing. No blinking lights nothing. Tried to program my garage door, again no blinking lights even when holding both outside buttons to clear the codes.

I start looking more closely, and it seems the cable has been removed?? There is a plug on the back of the mirror, but no cable plugged in. I found a cover that will fit up on the windshield like a cable cover in the glove box.

I'm thinking the cable is missing? It was a used car so I'm guessing it got swiped, but would appreciate some confirmation before I nag the dealer to replace it.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like the mirror was bought aftermarket and never hooked up. I'm thinking the cable that came with the mirror is missing. Anyone else installed this mirror as aftermarket item and have more on the install.
I'll look for a link.

Maybe this thread will help:

Homelink mirror on the cheap

Possible, but I think unlikely it's aftermarket. The car has never been titled and came direct from Nissan Corporate to the dealer. They're local to me.

I figured the mirror was supposed to have a connection, I just wanted to confirm it wasn't somehow in the stalk or something before I called the dealer I bought it from to have them get one.

I gave them a call and they said to come by and they'd make it right. I'll update once resolved in case someone else has the issue.

Would appreciate if you find any factory Homelink mirror install info though, so I can see what's involved. Not sure if there's another plug up in the headliner or what.
