Auto dimmer/Compass/Homelink mirror installed on 25 SR

[izzy]

Got a very minty used mirror from https://www.bobsmirrors.com/

Great seller, included all the instructions one might need and shipped quickly.

Install was pretty straight forward, only had to move the 5 pin plug to reduce some cable strain.

Looks OEM, very happy

I know there's a compass in the dash cluster but this is so much cooler. Only tools required was a torx 20 to remove the manual mirror.

Oh yeah just a heads up the DCM (SOS) will turn red and the truck will bitch at you about that, just do a few key cycles on/off, cleared it up for me. You have to unplug the overhead console to remove it, so the DCM gets a little confused.

Maybe if others do this, disconnect the battery before you start. Might not get as grumpy

Maybe yeah, good advice for any electrical work lol I know that simply disconnecting the battery doesn't throw off the DCM. Since it's always on though getting unplugged made it mad.

Seemed to sort itself out after a few on/off cycles. Could do without all that connected services spyware crap to be honest.

There’s a vid on YouTube about how to get rid of that with an Amazon pigtail. Seems easy enough. It disconnects the cell transmitter/receiver.

I recommend not only disconnecting the battery, but keep your key fob away from your truck. At least 30 feet helps when working on electrical.
looks good
