2019 CX-9 GT Sideview mirror problem

[eplur]

Hello Mazda Techs. 2019 CX 9 GT here. The driver side view mirror broke, and I replaced it myself to save on cost. I got 2021 replacement mirror from Ebay thinking it would be a direct fit, plug and play. It was not, I had to take all the internals out of the old mirror and swap it in the 2021, also had to splice the wires to fit the 2018. Everything worked, but the camera faced a little crooked. I must have installed the camera a little twisted as the camera housing was a little different in 2021 mirror. So, I took it to a dealership to get the cameras calibrated thinking that would make it point the right direction.

Unfortunately, they are saying it did not take calibration and now entire mirror will have to be replaced costing upwards of $1400. Everything works; blindspot, heat, surround view etc but I have lost the guide lines in all camera configurations. It also shows a red circle on the camera as showed in the picture.

I can certainly live with it. $1400 is not worth the benefit I think. Perhaps you know a work around, some fix for this. I am fairly handy.

What broke on your mirror? I have a 2021 Sig and the folding part of the mirror broke and trying to figure out if I can just replace that part or if I have to replace the whole mirror. I can tell you the part number for your 2019 is different than the 2021.

I have a 2020 Mazda I installed a mirror for myself in 2018 Actually, the mechanism is changing.There's even a video on YouTube showing how they installed it with a cx5.Some even bought it on AliExpress Well, I think they are on eBay too.Well, for example, use a translator on the forum. Link . I know that some people even repair the mechanism itself, but it’s quite difficult. Just change the folding motor. The main thing is to carefully disassemble the mirror.Warm it up with a hair dryer first.Well, in principle there are quite a few instructions. My mirror is a 2018 model and works great.
Just wanted to say that I did a complete mirror replacement. Since I have the GT trim, I had to make a slight adjustment to get it working. For some reason, the GT connector for the mirror was a bit different—it looked like a 2-pin setup. I ended up just filing down the plastic tab/latch on the connector, and it clicked right in. Works perfectly now.

In my country, getting a folding mirror motor replaced usually costs around $100–$150, parts and labor included. You just pull into a shop and they handle everything. However, since my entire mirror was smashed—housing and all—I had to go a different route. I picked up a complete used mirror for $400 and spent another $50 on a professional paint job to match the car.
