Review on πŸͺž Gentex Series 8 Frameless Auto-Dimming Mirror with Homelink Genk80a – Improved SEO-Optimized Product Title by John Brazington

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Installed on a 2014 Honda CR-V - love HomeLink.

Installed this mirror on my wife's 2014 Honda CR-V. The installation wasn't easy, but after a few hours I managed it. The reason I bought this mirror was for the HomeLink remote control garage door opener. This works GREAT! About a block away my wife can open our garage door. The auto dimming feature works well, but not as well as I expected. In addition, the mirror does not hang as low as the original mirror. But it has a double articulated arm so you can get the right angle. Installation instructions were good but could be better. The green power LED blinks several times when the auto dimming feature should turn on, but doesn't turn on. I couldn't find any documentation on why. I assume an error has occurred at this point. However, this does not happen often. Overall, my wife is thrilled that the radio opener is "built in" in her car.

Pros
