This is by far the most helpful video/instructions I could find. Others lack an explanation of the different variations and actual pins and that's what was the most important part for me.
Ignition 12v = Pin 6 (bottom right)
Ground = Pin 8 (bottom middle)
Constant 12v = Pin 10 (bottom left)
Had test wires in place in no time and both the Homelink and the autodim worked like a charm. Thank you for the video, helped me tremendously.
Just bought an 07 quest SE. What an interesting vehicle. Your videos have been so helpful bringing this extraordinarily functional vehicle back to its prime. Thanks so much!
I want to thank you for taking the time to put this together. It was very informative!
Thanks for the info. You're the only one that gave accurate and dead on info about these Gentex mirrors. The wiring pinout help me a bunch too.
Gentex makes all these mirrors for most OEM (Nissan etc.) This is the exact mirror the manual in my Hyundai Elantra shows. The one thing you didn't mention is that the model numbers also indicate the color of the compass as well. The one for Hyundai is blue to match the interior lighting. This makes it that much harder to find specific models if you are looking to maintain interior uniformity. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Thank you. I just rewatched this as I purchased an older mirror with the external compass unit and it would fit the existing window housing on a 2017 Infiniti QX70. After watching this through a 2nd time I now know what I need to purchase. Again, thank you. The video is very helpful.
I grabbed one of these for my 2014 Corolla, and carried it onto my 2017 with some mount modifications.. thankfully videos like these exist!! Forgot the pinout and couldn't really find it anywhere xD
I like this mirror cause the compass display sorta matches my cars exterior
4 years after.......... this is the most accurate info/instructions I've seen thus far!
Thanks - This was the best explanation of the pinouts I've seen on the Interwebs. It wasn't by color, which is good because different pigtails have different wire colors, apparently. The position is what's important. BTW I found that the #4 pin is for reverse override; applying 12V will turn off autodimming, it connects to the reverse light circuit. My pigtail also has a wire in #9, no idea what that does.
Thank you for making this video. I ended up getting the updated mirror with the compass but it's a ghost compass since you don't see the little black window in the corner. Has three wires. Ground, 12v hot, and 12v ignition so it should be pretty simple to install while I am doing my head unit.
The video was very helpful. I just purchased a 2016 Nissan Altima S and I'm having a hard time finding an auto dimming mirror with homelink compatible with my vehicle. Do you know if the GNTX 453 or 536 you talk about in your video would work?
Excellent information. Your video saved me at least $40. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment!
Thank you. This video was very helpful for me to install one one these mirror in my wife's 2012 Ford Explorer
Pin 3 is also ground , 3 and 8 are bridged inside the mirror. Also pin 5 and 10 (constant 12v from batt) is bridged inside the mirror. Just extra info if ur nissan pins seemed to be in different places... My ground was in pin 3 instead of 8, but works the same. Good video @dial2fast :)
The center plastic Homelink button on my ‘06 Hyundai Azera Gentex rearview mirror just broke. All the electronics still function fine... just the retention part of the plastic button itself broke. Can the plastic button itself be repaired or replaced? Either DIY or by Gentex?
Thanks for the great video!
you did a great job of describing the differences. I wish all youtubes were this good. BTW, there is a lot of confusion about what will and wont work on a HONDA. this video cleared it up. I am now looking for a 453 and avoiding the 313 since there is not much price diff if any. My 2016 Honda HR-V wedge mount is compatable as are most Hondas now, but not previously. hope this comment helps the Honda people. thanks again.
George Walters Thanks for sharing!
Just ordered the latest Gentex with homelink, auto dimming and compass from Amazon and yea, I paid a fortune....The mount on my current mirror is one that has the piece you engage with a very thin screwdriver from the bottom of the mount.
This is excellent information. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks made it easy to tap into wires for acc 12v
Hello. I want to thank you for your Barry detailed video about exchanging mirrors. I also wanted to know if I could ask you a question about the electronic mirror in the wire harness. Is there another place to ask you a question? Thank you very much for your time.
Great video and a lot of information Thank you for posting. They probably eliminated the constant power so a thief couldn't use the homelink without the car running.
I'm planning to install the mirror. my car don't have connectors. can you tell how to do connection
Can this be installed on 2016 altima sv with regular rearview mirror?
Do you know if any models of homelink mirrors fit on any vehicules? I have a hyundai KONA and I bought a homelink GNTX-536. I started by connect properly the 4 wires in the car. The mirror had power the light is green, and the compass work properly. But even if i maintain the homelink button, nothings turns red or flashing, it stays green. After that, i connect directly my mirror on a battery, same thing, i've power but the light does not change. Is it the mirror that have a problem?
I own a S series can you help with the wiring and installation for that model
awesome video. thanks.
great info i just picked up one of those rear view mirror. and looking at my connector it looks a little different. i have the pin 6(black and white wire) for the ignition 12v and pin 10(solid black wire) for constant 12v but on mine there is no pin 8 for the ground insted that wire is on pin 3 any thoughts on this?
+George Lee (Samsung) Not sure, but you can easily test it with a multimeter to find out.
do you have a video or can point me to one just like this but for a 2012 Hyundai Tucson? I'm replacing the factory plain-Jane mirror off a 2012 Tucson GLS with a GNTX ZTVHL3 off a 2010 Sonata. Any/All help much appreciated. Any point to any available printed matter regarding this how-to would also be much appreciated. Thanks!!
are all wires universal? looking to purchase one for my Infiniti Q50
Anybody know about the 687 series ? It looks the same as the 453. Also I have a 2x2" box connected to mine. Is that an extra light sensor or something else?
My vehicle is a 2012 Toyota Sienna (edition: Limited)
You are star!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!!!
I have a 2019 Rouge SV that came with a regular mirror but I wanted this Gentex mirror so I purchased an upgraded mirror from the dealer. What I got looks like some cheap generic mirror off of Amazon (Chamberlain group ARQ frameless mirror with universal remote) that I can not program from my remotes - I have to go to the opener motor to program it. I had Nissan install it not knowing what it looked like before it was installed. So I now have some type of wiring harness going to the useless mirror and now it has a 10 point wiring harness. (5 on top & 5 on bottom). I want to put a Gentex 453 or a Nissan sku #999L1-VW102 mirror in my vehicle. Is it possible?
I have a Xterra with an auto dimming and campus mirror with a 4-wire connector. How can I upgrade it to the mirror with a 5-wire connector and homelink+dimming+campus function.
Thx.
Trying to find a simple solution for my 2003 sentra to get a compass and temperature in my rear view mirror.
additionally, yes, it is a 536 model
Torx T15, thanks!
btw: the new harness has 4 pins, 3 together and 1 separated by a missing pin, if that helps any. Thanks again.
Hello, came across you video and found it interesting. I just bought the 2019 Nissan Murano SV and wanted to know if there is a way for me to find out which would be the correct mirror with Home Link, Dimmer and Compass model I would need to replace the Rear view mirror with Home Link, dimmer that came with my new car. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
Nissan is using this type of mirror for the 2019 Murano. You can this mirror that will fit your Murano on Ebay. bit.ly/NissanMirror
I have a Hyundai with auto dim, yet i wanted to upgrade it to one with homelink, but it has a different connector with 3 wires, i was thinking of splicing those wires, and plug into the new connector. Do you think it will work, of course once I get the right polarity on each wire?
Thank you Carlos
If it uses 3 wires, typically that's : 12v constant, 12v ignition, ground. The tricky part is making sure you wire it up to the correct pin.
If my G35x 2007 had the basic mirror with no technology, can I put ome these homelink compass mirrors in it?
yes. a brand new mirror with homelink, auto dim and compass cost me $230 and dealer install is $130.
Great channel, love the content! I have a 2016 Maxima with auto dimming and homelink features, model OBI2HL4? I would like to add the compass back like my previous Maximas had. Do you know if the Gentex 453 would have the same pin connection and pin locations? I have seen some videos requiring modifications to the pin locations for constant power. I see you also have a new pathfinder, curious if you would know. Thanks!
It's been a long time since I looked at this, but I can tell you I was able to install this mirror with the compass from the time I made this video into my 2017 Pathfinder. Same plug and works.
dial2fast Great - thanks for the reply!
Good info but your missing information regarding the reverse wire. Many of these gentex mirrors have a reverse signal input to disable the auto dimming while reversing.
I have a 2011 Rogue .It there instructions anywhere to be able to get power from the existing wiring from the overhead console as mine came with a regular rear view mirror only ,so I have to get a harness ?
+mat smith You will have to buy the harness and run your own power/ignition/ground wire. to the headliner. If there is overhead console dome light, then you might be able to use that power wire for constant power, but you still need ignition and a good ground. It's not easy if you have never done any electrical install in cars along with having a multimeter to test the wiring.
thank you i never know this
Do you have a video or information on the Kia mirror? I want to replace the one I have with one with homelink
Sorry I don't
Hello! Can you help me? bought a rear-view mirror - nzllcthl3. at me dodge stratus coupe 2003. At me in the established mirror of a rear view only 3 plugs. (+12, ground and open the doors). Maybe you know the pin 7 pin in the nzllcthl3 mirror. how and what to connect?
no bro, he dont know
Nice
I have purchased the mirror and wiring harness for our 2019 Nissan Murano S. Anyone have good advice or video on the best/preferred method for the power, ignition and ground source?
You can use fuse tap to tap ignition 12v and constant 12v. For ground, use a grounded bolt. See this video for reference. th-cam.com/video/Ertwi5Ci4v0/w-d-xo.html (go to around 13:00)
Anyone upgrade the 2020 Sorento EX from the cheap ass flip type dimmer to the EC auto dimmer with HomeLink? Is the wiring harness already located at the mirror location? It’s gotta be.
I am upgrading from just a auto dimming mirror to this gntx-453. The old mirror had a 5 pin and the new has a 10 pin connector. I have a pigtail, would electrical tape be ok to connect the wires or would you suggest something else? Thanks!
I recommend soldering, but if you can't solder, at least crimp the wires together with butt connectors. Twisting wire and taping will not hold up well in summer heat.
sounds great, thanks for the reply!
Hi I'm planning on replacing my 2015 370z Rv mirrors with the 453 homelink but it used to be from a 2006 Altima. Will they be compatible? Thx
As far as I know, all Nissan use that same connector for these Homelink mirrors. I just bought a new 2017 Pathfinder Platinum and was able to take the mirror I had on my Quest and plug it into the new car.
dial2fast thank you for the quick reply, it was either $250 vs $570. I just have do the whole installation.
Not sure where you buy it, but make sure they allow return so worst case scenario is you can return it if it doesn't fit. Even many Ebay sellers offer returns. But I am 95% sure they will fit. The other 5% is reserved for people to tell me I am wrong :)
I had to purchase a new windshield, and the guy put apoxy on the metal mount and it fell off in 3 months. Do I just purchased the regular rear view mirror glue from walmart?
That windshield glue will work assuming both surfaces on the mount and glass is clean without any residue of the old epoxy.
Hello, could you give a hint , whether this mirror will be a direct with to Nissan Juke (Nismo) 2014 with rain sensor?
Thanks in advance
Sorry not sure about the Juke. You should check what kind of mount it uses on the windshield as many Nissan cars use the one shown in the video.
ok, thanks. Will double check the mount and post you in this comment. Thanks for the hint!
2016 Ford Focus rear view mirror replacement
I have a new 2016 Nissan Rogue SL, with every bell and whistle except homelink. I have found many replacement mirrors with homelink, but I am unsure if the Rogue has a pre-existing wiring harness in the headliner. It being so new, I'm having trouble finding an answer. I certainly don't want to tear into a new car to explore. Does anyone know?
i just bought 2016 rogue sv. with my research so far. there is no prewire. needs to be installed. but it is relatively easy with the posi tap connectors and nissan service accessories connector. did you do it?
Hello dear
I have gntx-453
Model number : ztvhl3
Is this morning can read temperature with external sensor
. I want you please tell me wiring of temperature sensor
Thank you very much
Thanks, seems like a good upgrade. So you search for ZTVHL3 on ebay and as long as the connector is the same with the Nissan Quest, it doesn't matter what vehicle it came out of from?
You are better off searching on ebay for 'Nissan rearview mirror' and look for ones from a 06 07 08 Maxima or Altima. Almost all the Nissan mirrors are interchangeable.
I saw an ebay listing for an 2011 Quest rear view mirror with the same part numbers. Do you think it will work with the 2004 Quest? It's a little more expensive at $65.
Edmund Mendez If that mirror is GNTX-453 Model ZTVHL3 with a wedge mount, then it will fit our Nissan quest.
Edmund Mendez GT by by hi hi hi u up with you
This video and the one following it on programming the Homelink feature are terriffic! Thank you so much for posting it. I have an Infiniti with an auto-dimming mirror (GNTX 461) with a 7 pin connector and only two wires connected to it. The mount is the same as the 453. I assume one of the wires is the ground, and the second connects to the ignition power. Will the GNTX 453 work, and do I need the third wire?
Ira B. Dauberman I am not totally familiar with the GNTX-461, but from what I can find is it has built in microphone for handsfree calling. So if you install the 453, you will loose that feature.
dial2fast I disconnected the 461 and the handsfree calling and navigation work just fine. The 453 fits the mount. Do I need all three wires connected to make the new mirror work? As I mentioned before the old mirror has one black wire and one white wire. I would rather not have to go to a GNTX authorized installer ;0)
Ira B. Dauberman Does it have the exact same plug with the 461 and 453? There is really no way of knowing unless you use a multimeter to test the plug. Your original 2 wire system is probably just ignition 12v and ground. The 3 wire system has an extra wire for constant 12v so the homelink will work even without ignition. If those 2 wires you see on your harness is on the bottom row of pins as mentioned in the video, my best guess is they will work. But nothing better than testing with multimeter.
+dial2fast It seems that many times, with some patience and a tiny screwdriver, I have been able to finesse the factory pin/wire out of a connector and then it usually just snaps back in to whichever pin location you want it to go into. IF the pins are misaligned for your new mirror, you might be able to re-key the factory wiring to your needs. As far as whether the homelink works on the ignition or not, I can't see how anyone really cares a huge amount about that functionality. As long as you don't have to re-program homelink every time you turn the ignition off, I wouldn't worry about whether it has constant power or not..
There's a plastic piece that hides the cord between mirror and headliner. Any ideas how that clicks back in properly?
The plastic piece should be 2 pieces and slide to extend. One end will clip onto the metal base of the mirror that slides onto the windshield. The top of the plastic cover will get pushed up against the headliner.
Has anyone installed this on a 03 g35 coupe?
The auto-dimming feature in my 2018 Pathfinder is garbage, it doesn't darken enough to my liking. I which I had that little switch on the bottom of the mirror so that I can just flip it when I want to. I don't even know what mirror to get if I wanna replace it.
Thank you for your professional video ! I was able to install the same exact mirror onto my Nissan Titan. My Titan mirror had 5 wires. I learned that only 3 are needed to run the new mirror. Some helpful docs below to new installers.

Very good feedback. Thanks for your comment!
I don't believe your pin out readings for the GENTEX 453 are correct. I ordered a GNTX 453 (Model ZTVHL3) auto-dim w/ Homelink & Compass off eBay and it cable w/ a 10 pin harness already attached. There are three wires located on pins --> 3 (black), 6 (black w/ white stripe) & 10 (black).
I tried to find someone to help me stall the homelink mirror in my 2008 chevy trailblazer because my truck doesn't have one do you know anyone who can do for me thanks😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Highly recommend going to a junkyard that has maximas available, I paid $16.55 plus $3 entrence fee. $20 total really, but those three bucks can get you access to many more goodies hidden in there. Just sayin... Unless theres no junkyard in your area then i guess.
Everyone should keep in mind that if you replace the mirror with a compass feature that it should be recalibrated for your location. Here's a link that shows you how. th-cam.com/video/RTbkSlAMi4o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hjERlirserfCS4eL
