2017 Limited/Homelink question..

Is the Homelink system in the Limited in the mirror like it is in my Avalon (3 buttons)? If not, where is it located?

 

I don't believe the Tacos have home link

 

Limited's and TRD Pro only have it standard..

Oops.... I think I just answered my own question!! Sorry..

I wonder if it can be swapped into a Sport?? Anyone try?

 

I put one in my TRD off road I got from eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_n...a&_itemId=152146700881&_trksid=p2047675.m4096

It came with a wiring adapter and instructions. Works great and along with the clazzio leather seat covers the best mods I've made.

 

It is in the mirror of my 2016 Limited

 

There are about a million mirrors in that link...
Which one did you get? I still want auto dimming... How involved was it?

 

Yes, the Homelink is 3 buttons, in the mirror. Standard in Canadian 4x4 TRD Off Road, Sport, Limited and Pro.

 

That was the only link I saved and I don't seem to have any purchase history in my eBay account. I bought it last september and paid about $150. Gentex makes the mirrors for toyota and I believe the there are several that will work. The seller provided instructions for 2016+ Tacoma's along with a wiring adapter and the hardest part of the job was programming the remote. There may be a thread on here with instructions and pictures if I'm not misremembering. Contact the seller with questions, I think all those mirrors are from the same seller. I got the blue light with compass and auto dimming.

 

Thanks, I wonder if the swap would be plug and play with an OEM Limited/Toyota mirror? Hmmm.. Wonder if the plugs are the same?

 

My 2016 has the 'smart' mirror, has 3 buttons for garage doors and shows navigational direction. This thread confuses me, are you trying to get a mirror that does have the buttons? Because a 2017 Limited should have it stock.

Edit: woops disregard, I see you're looking at a Sport and want the mirror, got it.

 

Limited and SOME pros only. I negotiated my deal for my 17 OR and then made a condition before signing that they swap the mirror out of a limited. At first they thought it was a no brainer, but then they saw that the TOY price for the homelink mirror is $1,000. I didn't budge, I was there , approved, repeat customer, give me the mirror or I am leaving.... agreed to just have them put the mirror in my hand and I would swap it out so they didn't have to pay $100 in labor for a plug and play mirror. It is quite ridiculous especially if you get the tech package that it doesn't come with homelink...

 

Auroraboy said it was standard on the Canadian TRD's so I would think so, the hard part would be finding a used one. If I remember right the new ones were pretty pricey.

 

Agreed, it is really the only thing missing from the tech package that really should be there... I do want the Sport though..

Are the connectors the same? Is it just plug and play?

 

yep, took all of 3 minutes , just need a torx bit to remove the screw, unplug the harness, put the new one up and screw it back in. Done. They are compatible with all as long as you have the auto dimming mirror

 

It's standard up here on the TRD OR's DCSB's....

 

Anyone have the actual part number? There are various mirrors that Toyota has in their vehicles that will work, but I want to ensure the compass LED is the same color, etc.

Looks like I found it:

$300 GENK45AMB5 Plug & Play for 2016-2018 Toyota Tacoma with Auto-Dimming, Compass, HomeLink5 & Blue Backlit Buttons

Does anyone know if the gentex mirror homelink button works when the power is off? I'd prefer it didn't on the occasion the vehicle is in the driveway.
