Ray,

I'm sorry to hear about your Accent. I always thought yours was one of the best looking on the forum! What color Sonata did you get? The mirrors are added on at the port and you can also have dealer add them on too like you stated. Most of the cars come with the wiring and I'm pretty sure the Sonata does too. I have no electrical ability and I managed to put one of the mirrors in my 06 Santa Fe very easily.

I don't think you should have any problems

:beer:

Any answers/ advice greatly appreciated. I searched through 10 pages of posts and did a search using: auto dimming mirror home link, still came up empty.

You have to add the wires yourself, but all the places needed ate at the over head console. I have one for sale, it's autodim and homelink, no compass or temp. I will sell it for $150 shipped. The only thing you would need to buy is the wire cover, it's like $6 on eBay. If you buy mine, I will pull down my console and tell you which wires to tap. The one I have I bought for my truck and never installed, and I put one with a screen for a backup camera in the sonata instead.

 

I installed the OEM one from hyundai over the weekend. Took about 30 minutes. Came with instructions and wire clips as to which wires to tap. I believe they were the Blue, red and black wires in the over plug. I could scan them and post if you want.

I think that would be a great idea and then this post could be stickied. :grin:

 

Here you go, hope it helps!

 

This a a real help except I bought Gentex GENK 41A which is the generic version of the mirror, and the instructions that come with it don't show the color coding. The harness is all black wires with only one having the white stripe. Does anyone have a cross reference on the wiring diagram?

It would seem that the center wire is ground (NEG), the Black/White stripe is Switched power (IGN) and the other Black wire is Constant power (BATT)

I have two Gentex auto-dim mirrors laying around at home and these are the instructions I've been trying to find. Thanks!!

 

:banana: :trophy: :grin: Great post! Thank you so much! This will safe people a lot money by not having to pay dealer prices for the mirror and dealer prices for the installation!!!

 

Thanks for all the advice and offers of help everyone. Ordered my mirror from OEM Hyundai eBay seller for $199.00 and received it on Friday (auto dimming, HomeLink, compass). Saturday morning I pulled the sunglass holder down, popped on 3 wire taps, plugged everything in and now I'm in business...EASY. EASY. EASY. So glad I didn't let the dealer rip me on this. The auto dim is very much appreciated as I'm used to driving SUV's and the lights at night were blinding me.

Another satisfied customer.... :grin:

 

The instructions mention a panel removal tool...is it included with the OEM mirror? Do I need it for this upgrade?

A panel removal tool is typically a nylon based instrument that allows you to pull and tug on interior panels with less chance of denting, gouging or scratching. I typically will use a plastic putty knife to get my fingernails engaged.

You can get a cheap kit at Harbor Freight. If you want a nicer kit you can go look at Eastwood. They have a $32 version or an $8 version.

 

In a pinch you can also use a screwdriver with electrical tape over the blade.

 

Stupid question. I can't find any photo's of how this attaches to the windshield. I have a standard mirror that is attached to the windshield. Does this mirror attach to the console?

Can someone please post pics of what it looks like after the install?

 

Thanks Bearcats and Fox Mulder!

It installs to the same glued on, to the glass, base that the standard mirror mounts to. The wires run up into the headliner via a little plastic telescopic "tunnel" that comes with the kit. It is not a difficult install. It even comes with the tiny allen wrench used to remove the old mirror and tighten the new one.

Thanks for the mirror wiring instructions. Now I know where to get Switched Ignition and Ground for my radar detector! I'm mounting it above the mirror where nobody will see it and try to steal it.

 

Where did you purchase yours from?

 

thanks for the info in this thread, very helpful

 

I did a write up on this, posting it here for future readers. Hope it helps!!

So I got my OEM Homelink Mirror and it was for a really good price but it did not come with any other extra wires with spades that I see in the pictures of Aquafresh's DIY install. Basically all I got was the mirror with the wires that come out of it and have a harness. I'm not sure if I just need to cut that harness off and extend wires and crimp them onto the harness in the Sunglasses holder overhead? Am I missing a set of wires and harness or can I do this install with what I have? Below is a photo of all that I have which is just the mirror with the wires coming out. Also, I need the wire cover since it did not come with it. I have a part number of 851103E100 but it does not look correct. Anyone help would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

I got my Homelink mirror installed and did it without the use of the extra harness wire with spades that comes with the mirror when you buy it new. I bought the mirror from car-part.com for $65 and didn't have to spend a dollar more for any extra wires or harness. I just cut the harness off the set of wires coming directly out of the mirror leaving four different colored wires; black, green, yellow, and red. From here I just guessed. I followed the diagram that was provided on another thread of the PDF that comes with the mirror new so I knew which wires to splice into on the harness that plugs into the overhead dome light/sunglasses holder. I didn't even use T-Taps, just cut sections away from the wire and soldered them in. A little more sloppy than some of your installs but I was more or less experimenting. Out of the four colored wires, the only one that is not used is the green one. The black went to ground, and the red and yellow went to the ignition power and constant power. My first install, I put the ignition and constant power backwards so the mirror turned on but would not function. I then switched those and it started dimming and allowed me to program my garage door opener. So for $65, I got a $200+ auto-dimming mirror in like new condition. If you buy a mirror like I did used, be sure to ask them to include the black piece of trim that hides the wire from the mirror to top of the interior.

 

AZ is right. Otherwise you get to try to find it on eBay for around $10.

 

FYI, there are two different part numbers that come up for 11-13 Sonata for the black trim piece that covers the wire from the Mirror to the roof. My dealer ordered the first and it was wide, short and not correct. I ordered the second one and it was correct; longer, rectangular and telescopic. Photo below of part and the number which is 85110-3E100.
