<div class="bbWrapper">I recently bought this homelink since it was on sale. People say its compatible with almost all vehicles. Does anyone know if installing it will be easy. Can I draw power from my rain sensor/lane keep assist box on the windshield?<br />

2021 CX-5 Sport: How to add homelink?
- Thread starter matyolo
- Start date
<div class="bbWrapper">If yo can power it up and attach it, there's nothing special about a Homelink mirror other than it has the homelink remote built it. Kind of like taking your clicker and putting it in the mirror.<br />
<br />
I may be wrong, and my gf will probably tell you I am</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">To OP:<br />
There are three wires to a Homelink.<br />
1. constant 12v - for garage door<br />
2. switched 12v - for dimmer<br />
3. ground<br />
I installed one myself few years back on a '05 CX9.<br />
There are ground and constant wires in the doom light, but not switched 12v.<br />
<br />
What I did?<br />
I ran wires down the inside of A-pillar trim to the kick panel of your left foot (assuming LHD).<br />
There are contacts there. Switched and constant 12v. Ground is easy. Just tie it to a body panel somewhere free of paint or ground pin.<br />
A PDF instruction for Mazda accessory is here for the information you might need.<br />

</blockquote>This sounds a bit complicated. I have taken out the A pillar before while doing installing the dashcam (powered via the OB reader). <br />
<br />
Installing this homelink seems like a lot of work. You said doom light would be a no go for the homelink system. But would the rain sensor/lane keep assist box on the windshield have those three components (constant 12v, switched 12v, ground) for the homelink? I dont mind if the garage opener does not work when the car is turned off (will help as a security measure if the car is parked outside).<br />
<br />
Also I feel like I dont need the dimming feature? have never toggled the dimming version on my non powered rear view mirror on my SUV.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Rain sensor should be on switched 12v, but I am not sure if the current draw is sufficient. Your call. <br />
<br />
If you don't need the dimming, then, you can buy a basic Gentex mirror w/o auto dimming. In that case, you only need constant 12 (dome light) and ground (which also can be found inside dome light cover).</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Hi, I have a problem connecting the mirror with the Homelink function. I don't like the color scheme of cables and positions in the manual and in reality. Now the auto-dimming feature works for me, but the Homelink doesn't. I have a European CX-5 2022. I have a wrong cable for Homelink, what should I connect it to?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">try to find the instructions for the frameless mirror accessory. It shows where to splice in , because it is not plug and play also. somewhere in the A pillar if I recall.<br />
btw Does homelink even work in Europe (frequency wise)?<br />
<br />
the mirror as said above has 3 main wires.<br />
constant 12v+ used for homelink (its always on)<br />
switched 12v+ for autodimming<br />
and ground 12v-</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">yes, Homelink works, I just found out before buying the mirror, Homelink and garage door motor work on the same frequency.<br />
yes, I have it connected in the A-pillar, but according to the instructions, the position and color of the cable do not match reality, the given position according to the instructions is a different color in reality, e.g. in the instructions, there is a purple cable at the given position, but in reality I have pink, purple is in a different position</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I cannot help in your particular case, but when we got our 2014, I added an eBay 2013 autodim/homelink mirror. I had assumed it would be plug and play, but found, like you, that wires were different. I was able to swap around pins in the mirror-side connector to match the car side one to get it working.</div>
