AdventADVGEN40A4 Gentex Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror with Homelink 4

Gentex, our old favorite. Ford used to offer this as a Dealer option but I do not see it anymore. Well this model fit perfectly on my 2023 & 2024 Mavericks and was easy to wire into the map light harness. It works great. The auto dim is awesome and the HomeLink on my two gates and garage. I do not have to worry about losing the remote or dead batteries. This mirror is worth it and it looks factory.

I bought this mirror to get Homelink technology into my 1995 F-250, tired of carrying around the fob required to open the gate for my apartment community. Cheap programmable fobs don't seem to be able to handle the codes for the gate controller, but Homelink does. Many newer vehicles have Homelink built in but older vehicles like my F-250 don't. I figured this mirror would be the easiest and cleanest way to add this tech to my truck, but there are also headliner-installed modules and console-mount modules from the same manufacturer, all of which are about $50 cheaper here than on the manufacturer's web site.Installation was very easy, this mirror replaces the factory mirror using the same dovetail lug on the windshield as the stock mirror, just pop the old mirror off, slide on this new one, and tighten the screw. This mirror does not come with installation instructions, but search google for "ADVGEN45A4_IM.pdf" to find the instructions, you'll need them for wiring and programming. The mirror needs a switched-hot, constant-hot, and ground. I got lucky and all three were already available above the mirror, feeding the old mirror switched power and the sun visor lights have constant power so easy to tap into all the needed connections. The included wire harness is plenty long enough to route down to a spot under the dash if needed, but it would probably be a good idea to protect it with some wire loom or something if routing it across the roof and down the A-pillar.Homelink programming is easy and works great, no more carrying around the gate fob.Product information for this here on Amazon is basically empty but search for the manufacturer's product web site and there is enough info there for this product along with other models which have a compass, map lights, etc.I feel like the price for this is a bit high for what it is, but everything with the "Homelink" tech seems to be that way, I guess that's just the cost of their IP or something.Anyway... easy install, easy programming, works great. It might be nice if the seller updated this product description to have more complete info and include a link to the installation manual.

There were no instructions included to install this and when I finally found them, there's nothing "easy" about it. Unless you are experienced in this sort of thing, pass.

The visual quality of the mirror is nice, it looks like it came with the car. It did not come with the plastic cover for the wire, from the mirror up to the headliner, which is ok. Installation was very straight forward, 12V constant, 12V ignition, and a ground.Functionality works pretty good. Setting and using the Autolink for my garage door was easy.At first I thought the auto dimming was not working, as it was not dimming at all during dusk, but then later at night I noticed it was dimming. It does not get as dim as other OEM auto dimming mirrors are, but it works pretty good. Wish it would work better as dusk.Adjusting the mirror seems slightly odd too, like the shell of the mirror flexes, before the mirror pivots on the arm. So going from driver to driver worries me, that the mirror body could crack in the future.Overall I am pretty happy with the purchase.

I love this mirror.Previously, I had a mirror that had to be manually flipped from "normal day view" to "dimmer night view"...But there are some wonderful features of this one:-- Automatic switching into Night Mode-- Nice look and feel-- THREE garage door openers integrate nicely with my doors-- Quality view of both nite and day views: crystal clear!Excelllent Mirror.Does seem a tad spendy... but for all its functionality, I'd say it's probably good value for the money.

The mirror mount did not end up fitting because it is gigantic!!! I'm sure the mirror works great but my car has a camera system for cruise control so the massive mount didn't even come close to fitting. Did not notice that until after I wired in the kit so now I have to hope whatever other mirror I get can use the plug or I'll be ripping it all back out and redoing it!

I’ve installed two of these now - one in a 2017 and 2021 RAV4XLE models that came without homelink. It is a bit of a project to run wiring across the headliner down the A pillar to the fuse box but there are several online videos that show how. I cut off the wire tips and used Fuse Taps to get power when the car is on and when it is off. They worked fine. I’m very happy with this at it makes getting in and out of various gates and garages much easier than battery powered units. The mirror works great and has auto dimming for night time use. Gentex products are high quality and my older one is going on 3 years with no problems.

Best $200 I spent so far on my 24 Maverick easy install 1 screw to take off and put new one on fits factory mount perfect then Splice 3 wires to the dome light and you get a garage door opener and auto dimming mirror. Should have came like this from Ford.
