    What is the best way to remove the cover? Does it just pop off? Where is the best area to start prying? Going to tackle this tomorrow. I'll make a video so anyone else that wants to do it can see. Thanks again Spazstic

    Great video! Should make it easy for other members to do the mod.

    So tonight I took my Gentex mirror I originally bought for my 2017 Kia Niro hybrid and repinned the harness as it was pinned for Toyota/Lexus. Because I did not want the homelink powered when the car was not on anyway I jumpered pin one and pin six on the back of the mirror harness. I depinned all but the power from the mirror harness and moved the ground. Using this method allowed for ZERO modifications car side.

    Tiny follow up the 12v I leveraged goes dead in Reverse for some reason. For me this isn’t quite a back to the drawing board thing but something to be aware of for sure.
