Great addition to my Tacoma

This installs on my 2016 Tacoma in minutes and is really plug and play. One screw, one 12 pin connector, the drive is reversed and the compass is complete. A few more minutes to program my garage to open (see YouTube video for reference) and open the gate to our Florida condo with the gate remote. Came brand new in the box and labeled as new.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • not reliable

Plug and Play works on 2021 Tacoma.

The plug and play installation was simple and straightforward. I have a 2021 Tacoma and didn't need the wiring harness mentioned in other reviews. The compass is accurate and functional, the mirror is dimmable and the garage door opener works with the ignition off or on. Good product! I still don't know why this isn't standard in Tacoma.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Clarity

Plug and Play for 2018 Tacoma

Genuine Plug and Play for 2018 Tacoma. Much cheaper than installing one. There is a plastic overlay along the headliner that covers the cable that goes to the mirror. This cover has an internal slider that allows you to snap it back into place. You just have to slide it down to make it smaller and then slide it back to cover the area it fits.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Easy upgrade Good for interior

Bought used 2016 Tacoma. There was a rear-view mirror with an auto-dimming compass. I wanted a Homelink for my garage door. A screw to remove the old mirror. I unplugged the wiring harness connector. A screw to install a new mirror. Plug plugged in. I had to press the learn button on the garage opener to program the mirror open button. Drove around to calibrate the compass. So easy to do. Brilliant.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Exchangeable

Plug and play is expensive but once bought, once cried

Bought for a 2018 Tacoma which honestly should have been like this from the factory. After not having Homelink in my Tacoma for a week, I just swallowed the ball and bought this. So outrageously expensive but worth every penny. Literally ten minutes to install and connect for Tacoma. Very pleased with the build quality and the blue color matches the Tacoma interior lighting perfectly.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons

Ultra-Fast Installation - True Plug & Play. Does what it should.

The product corresponds exactly to the description. The screw in my 2018 Tacoma Off Road requires a Torx 25 screwdriver and the screw that came with the mirror is exactly the same. I loosened the screw, removed the mirror, loosened it, put in a new mirror and tightened it. Less than 5 minutes from start to finish. Programming the mirror compass and HomeLink is very easy. My only complaint is the price. $300+ seems excessive, but I will not discount the price of any seller product. Good quality…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Difficult to say

It really is that easy to install!

Excellent product. It took me less than 10 minutes to remove and replace the stock mirror on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. After installation, a quick lap around the block and the compass was set. Five minutes later my garage door was programmed. This is a really easy mirror to play with a pug. Remove one set screw from the old mirror, remove the wire cover, loosen the wire clamp and remove the old mirror. Follow the reverse process to install a new mirror. The dealer asked for $1,000. The auto…

  • Doping πŸ”₯

Amazing product finish

I was fed up with the rattling of remote controls in my car so I decided to treat myself and buy one of these mirrors for my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. As described it was literally plug and play. There is a screw attached to the rear of the mirror that holds the factory mirror, windshield and wiring harness. Erase them, replace them with a new mirror and viola! Ready. It is also very easy from a programming point of view. Setting up the compass requires moving in a circle (or rotating three dots in…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not everything fits
