50-GENK2AM Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirror by Gentex

I installed this in my 2015 Fusion and it is really high quality and a lot nicer than the piece of crap flippy style mirrors or whatever they are called. I used a Bussmann fuse tap and it took just a few minutes to have it all hooked up and installed. My car had an empty fuse slot for an auto dimming mirror (since obviously it didn't come with one standard for some silly reason) so it functions like it would it would if it came from the factory. The only issue is that they don't include the wire concealer but it's well worth the extra few bucks if you want to make it look good. I will probably never buy another car without an auto-dimming mirror but if I do I'll definitely get another one of these.

I recently bought a 2012 Toyota Prius that was missing it's mirror but still had the mount glued to the windshield. This mirror worked perfectly with the existing mount, all that is required is a Torx bit to secure a set screw. This also upgraded the vehicle to have auto-dimming, so I had to install the wiring. Luckily it is as simple as buying a Low-Profile Mini Fuse tap, crimping it to the 12V power line for the mirror, plugging the tap into the cigarette lighter outlet in the fuse panel, and running the wire up the A-pillar underneath the plastic trim. I had it completely installed in less than an hour.

Excellent mirror. Fits 2013 Honda Civic with slide on mirror bracket (not twist on). The only complaint I have is that it does not come with a wire concealer or a short piece of wire webbing wrap to cover the piece of wire that is exposed from the back of the mirror to the head liner. Other than that it's very sturdy and straightforward on mounting. No instructions but you shouldn't need them.

First off, the actual product. I'm a hard critic when it comes to aftermarket products. I want the best for the return. Not cheap, but 'what you pay is what you get'. This is worth the $$. Found myself playing around while driving enjoying the difference and how much it helps. I live in Brooklyn and driving the BQE every night, its gets exhausting flipping my mirror to see traffic and then flipping again to tone it down. Installation. Okay for me, it was a process. I own a 2000 Honda CRV, so the OEM mirror mount is in the roof, not the windshield Mount: I had to mount a new metal bracket on the glass to hold the mirror. First off, buy the 3 pack of metal mounts. DO NOT USE plastic. It's not easy to mount to glass. I ended up making my own (work in a fabrication shop) to save time waiting for the mount. In terms of glue, stay away from epoxys, caulk, 5-minute adhesives, yada yada yada! It all takes time to cure only to find out it might not hold. You want UV Glue! It dries fast, and holds strong! I work with NYC Museums, Calvin Klein Fashion Exhibits, so trust me. If it holds for them, it'll hold for you! This stuff is great; https://www.amazon.com/CRL-UV702-High-Viscosity-Adhesive/dp/B006JFKP3W. It has a shelf life of 18 months after production. It's toxic, so wear a respirator. Don't forget the UV Light source, amazon has a bunch of flashlights, again need glasses, or just don't stare directly at it. Mark your window from the outside where you want the mount. Wipe the inside window and your mount down with any kind of stripper like acetone, denatured, rubbing alcohol. Apply a thin amount of UV Glue to your mount. Press it against the window. Tape it into place. Look outside and make sure the glue covered the whole area between the window and mount. Put the light source right on outside and shine down on your glue for a minimum 5 minutes, at most 10 minutes. Once hardened, its not going anywhere! Wiring: Okay this was a bit of a challenge, I could tap into my radio, but it's a headache getting it out. The easiest thing to tap into for me was the window adjustment control. It normally just pops out! Disconnect the harness and feed that down to below your steering wheel. You'll need a multimeter, wire strippers (at least 20 gauge) , crimps and crimpers. Don't use the splice connects they give you. Not safe and will fail eventually. Could buy this set, https://www.amazon.com/EL-SKY-Terminal-Connectors-Assorted-Electrical/dp/B01LA82M8S. It'll last you awhile. Use the red butt crimps. Check the wires until you find a 12v source. Should only be one. Clip, strip, crimp, plug it back again. Done.

A very complete kit. Bought as a replacement for my 1998 Ponyiac Grand Prix. Looks OEM. The original wiring popped out of the factory connector and snapped into the new connector so there wasn't any wiring needed. I haven't taken the car out at night yet, but I don't think I'll be disappointed in its performance. However if your car didn't have a factory auto dimming mirror it comes with everything you'll need to add it.

To understand why a low review please read on. This is the second of these mirrors I have bought in the last few months. The 1st one was perfect. This one came in a very badly damaged box, maybe water damage, Wiring loom loose, no instruction card. Gentex Customer service had a test sequence but I could not tell if the unit worked on the bench when 12v was applied. I wrote to Gentex customer service and they took two days to get back to me. They recommended that I return the item through Amazon as they feared water damage. However while waiting for this response I installed the mirror in my new Subaru. Worked perfectly!

Installed it today, note this model did NOT come with the compass or outside temperature display and the wiring harness did not come close to fitting a 2008 Lexus IS350 / IS250 which I noted in my order, but the windshield mount and black grain finish fit perfectly. In the end all it offered was the power dimming function which is all that is minimally needed for safety and at $89 is a bargain. I repurposed the included Gentex wiring harness that connects to the mirror by cutting the wire harness 2" from the connector, took apart the defective Lexus mirror and repurposed the harness from the white connector to the inside of the unit by attaching red to brown (ignition) and black to blue (ground), just cut the green off completely and ignored the rest. The Lexus wire covers also worked fine. Looks great, took about an hour. Hopes this helps anyone with the defective pitted / rusted rearview mirror that Lexus refuses to warranty despite hundreds of complaints.

The mirror fit well in a 2023 GMC Sierra 1500. GENTEX is supped to be an OEM supplier, so this mirror looks OEM. Install of the mirror itself was pretty straight forward. You remove the forward camera surround and unscrew the old mirror, then slide this new mirror in and tighten the screw. The hard part, at least for the Sierra, was finding a switched power source. The USB fuse is switched, but it's a triple fuse and I didn't have a tap for that. So ended up running a wire from the 12V outlet, routing behind the glovebox and ending in the passenger fuse area.

Excelente producto y excelente precio. Me gustó bastante.

純正ミラーから交換。 これを装着するだけで、クルマの室内の高級感が増しますし、実際の性能としても、夜間の高速走行が楽になりました。 自動車メーカーは、これを全車種に装着すべきでは？ 事故も減るはずです。

Belle qualité mais le bras articulé est trop court

The mirror was a good buy, did exactly what it’s supposed too.

Works exactly as described. Just needed to order the proper piece to attach it to the windshield.
