  • Ever since I got my NC Miata the rearview mirror has been delaminating. I finally picked up a Gentex HomeLink mirror from a Mazda 6 and got it wired in and installed! The process took longer because I couldn't figure out the wiring, but once it was in, I couldn't have been happier.

    Probably should ' ve turned the dome light off when demonstrating the dimming feature. I'm impressed at your never give up attitude when tackling a new job.

    Any plans to also do the side mirrors? The M6 has heated and dimmed side mirror options available.

    How did you disconnect the wire from the mirror ? Is there a tab like a phone Jack to squeeze to get that out?

    Hey Jackson, do you know the model number for the mirror you bought? I bought one a few years ago to do this same thing, but mine didn't come with the pigtail of the wiring, and I was having trouble finding one online.

    • @ColoredinLight

    Will this work w/ the Liftmaster internet-enabled opener? Will it work on my NC1?

    • @ColoredinLight

      I have no idea about the garage opener you use but yeah it should work on an nc1

  • @martinngo154
    @martinngo154 4 роки тому

    Hey J, My Nc1 is base model and doesnt have power door lock. Which fuse slot should i tap into. Can you help? And does it has to be Mazda 6 mirror or just any Gentex 313?

    • @ColoredinLight
      @ColoredinLight  4 роки тому +1

      I retapped to the accessory fuse since I didnt want the mirror on all the time. I got a mazda one because I figured it would be closest to stock but I'm not positive

    • @martinngo154
      @martinngo154 4 роки тому

      Colored in Light correct me if i am wrong. Accessory fuse is #2 top down right? There are 3 wires from the mirror? Red, black and yellow? Please walk me thru this. I just ordered from ebay the exact model of your. (I guess) lol. Should be here in couple days.
      Thanks for the video man. I like ur videos alot.

    • @ColoredinLight
      @ColoredinLight  4 роки тому +1

      Should be it, fuse diagram is on the back of the cover to double check. I go over which wires went where in the video

    Look up the word FOCUS. Might be the worse instructions. If there is a reverse sensing wire, when you go into reverse it UN-DIMS the mirror to allow you to see better what is behind the vehicle if viewed via the mirror.
    Again...bad!!!!

    • @ColoredinLight

      Oh no! I'm sorry to have upset you. Happy to let you know I never accidentally backed into anyone while I had this installed.
      Also this is not an instructional video
