HomeLink Rearview Mirror#
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.
Install Pictures#
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. |
