Auto Dim Mirrors..don't buy OEM

[danjkelly]

There are a few accessories I want for my CX9, one being the Auto Dim Mirror
with HomeLink and Compass/Temp
Stealership wantd over 400.00
BUT the manufacture sells to public at half that price
GENTEX Mirrors come in various set ups
Gentex GENK51A sells for 195.
so check around

mazdaparts.org have them for less than $400. Does that price incl installation?

 

[ceric]

The price is around $220 +/- $20, parts only.
Dealers want $400 including the installation, I believe, which is not that bad if true.
I did it myself, and the time it takes can range from 1 hr to 2 hrs (if you don't "break" anything)
depending on your skills and luck.
If you have rain-sensing wiper, it gets slightly trickier and riskier.

However, if dealers want $400 just for the part, it is a huge ripoff!

Something seems a bit expensive here?
