For those of you that have done this install with the wires tapped into the moonroof console wires, does your mirror flash on and then off for a half-second when you lock/unlock the doors with your remote while the vehicle is off? That is, when the chime sounds and the turn signals flash, the mirror flashes on for a half-second as well.

Very strange; I put a voltmeter on the moonroof console wires I connected the mirror to. When connected to the ground and the Acc-on wires, the voltmeter shows 0 volts with the car off, as expected, and when I hit the lock or unlock button on the remote, the voltmeter shows a blip of voltage going through. Must be why the mirror is flashing on; strange thing is why that's happening.

Took a look at a wiring diagram and it looks like I had the mirror power wire connected to the body ECU wire instead of the Acc-On wire. Once switched around, it's working correctly. Too bad I lost a clip from the map light console inside the roof when re-installing it. Looks like it's gonna be a pain to get out.

Bought it from the seller "camsmirrors" It's used, but comes with all the mounting and wiring necessities. Not sure he has another with amber display though.

Here's one for ya:

Gentex 453 Homelink Mirror w Amber Compass w Wiring Installation Kit | eBay

Seller is 100% Positive Feedback.

These are the GenTex mirrors that are listed on page 1 of this thread. Will work with our wedge mount.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gentex-453-H...21166799102%26

Same seller, hidden compass display though.

Think I just got a good deal....I picked up a Gentex 453 Homelink mirror with autodim and amber compass from ebay seller "camsmirrors" for $130 shipped. He has 100% positive feedback, so I'm pretty comfortable that this will work. Can't wait to install it....I've had Homelink mirrors on my previous 3 cars.

Bought a Gentex 453 Amber with the hidden compass feature last year off ebay for like $150 shipped. Easy to install and the homelink worked perfectly.

So I was able to get a used Auto dimming mirror w/ compass originally from a corolla for my used 2008 4-runner..
I was about to follow the instruction when I open the moonroof/sunroof control and to my surprise I found a 5-pin blue connector wrap up together with the connector of the sunroof console harness.

Now I am wondering if that is connector for the rear view mirror?
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and also installed this mirror and have the same issue with
the lights flashing on the mirror when I press the lock/unlock button, could you tell me what wire did you end up using to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!
