HomeLink Rearview Mirror#

Tags: alltrack, vehicle

My 2019 Golf Alltrack SE came with an auto-dimming mirror, but I wanted the one with garage door buttons integrated in it. Since my car had the rain sensor option installed I already had power available to my mirror, so this upgrade was super easy to do. No coding was required.

Parts needed:

  • Enhanced Rearview Mirror with HomeLink 000072548F

    • I bought this “F” version but I think I could have gotten the “B” version instead since I did not need to use the wiring harness that it came with.

    • $218.02 when I purchased it on 2021-12-24

Instructions and other resources used:

The compass in the mirror seemed to self-calibrate after I drove around for a bit.

New mirror connector is nearly the same as my factory one except some pins are in different positions. Worked fine though.

Remove this black plastic trim by wedging a trim removal tool in the bottom center to split the two pieces apart. Do it gently, I broke the middle clip doing this (picture of clips is from a spare I bought, part numbers 3G0-858-633-82V and 3G0-858-634-82V).

Original mirror with the trim removed. To remove the mirror you just need to twist it counter-clockwise (towards the driver side).

The new mirror. I run my dashcam wires through the mirror's metal base to avoid having the wires tear up my headliner in case somebody tries to steal it by pulling hard on it.

Zip tying my dashcam wires to the mirror before installing it.
