If you don't necessarily need a homelink system and would just like a cleaner solution for a garage door remote, I recommend getting this rearview mirror with integrated remote. It's identical to the Chamberlain ARQ mirros. Frameless rearview mirror with built in 3 button Chamberlain garage door opener | eBay

I have it on my 2022 Escape SEL and it's great. Super easy to install. Drawback is that it's battery powered and not user replaceable. The battery is suppose to last 10 years though.

It appears that mirror does not have the daylight sensor built in.

 

Just take the mirror power off of the visor vanity light, its a delayed ignition off feed.

 

Here's the part number that comes back for our 2020Ti which has the Homelink visor

Used to be real easy in the days when it was just a mirror on a stalk on the windshield, go buy a Genesis mirror or salvage one out of a Hyundai/Kia and run a pair of wires to a hot on ignition circuit.

 

Oh you know what? I realized my mirror isn't auto dimming as well! I wonder if there is some way I could buy the aftermarket mirror and hook it up? Is there any wiring available to tap into for the mirror?

Found a battery operated model!

I am still more interested in the hardwired version though.

Looked like the 3rd gen Escapes all had the wire harness hidden in the roof but not sure about the 4th gen.

Factory auto dimming rear view mirror upgrade?

Was wondering if its possible to install a factory auto dimming rear view into my 16 SE from a wrecked higher end model? Just curious as to what it is powered by and if that wiring is available to use in my SE that doesn't have it. The 2016 Titanium we used to have had that feature and we...

I have this on my titanium and its not worth it. The range sucks, the remotes have better range.

 

I notice that on my old '15 Escape. I will just stick with the remote for now then.

 

Definitely right about the shorter range, it's easily half or less than which my Ford Homelink visors have/had in my '05 Sable, '14 Escape Ti, '14 Fusion and my current '18 Fusion Platinum.

 

I have a 2023 Hybrid STline. I just installed a Kia rear view mirror with Homelink, auto dim and compass. What courtesy light wire can I use to power the Homelink? I currently have a wire to the fusebox on the front passenger floor, but wife wants to open the garage door before turning on the car. Overhead wiring is not the same as my 22 Maverick Lariat
