Electrochromatic mirror install?


Recommended Posts

I'm curious about the optional electrochromatic mirror Ford offers that includes a compass & I think outside temp ; has anyone had one of these installed by the dealer, & if so, any problems with install? Happy with it? And to those of you who've had your windows tinted, does this adversely affect the functioning of the mirror?

I have it. Two "homeLink" buttons (one for each garage door), compass (which I really need) and OAT (which I like to watch in my climate. Ordered the parts via my dealership PD for 275.00, came back for a professional dealer install.

 

Yes, it is complicated if you want it done right, and that OEM factory look.

 

I also added turn signal mirrors at the same time, from Bule Oval Industries, 169.00 back then.

Since my '07 SGT is black, no painting was necessary.

 

Dealer was able to charge off 85.00 labor under a warranty claim, since my factory mirror was "blemished when it fell off". Then I covered the wrench's install time "hand to hand", and with a tip for his excellent and OEM install. Add 300 bucks.

 

Yes, I feel it all was worth it. The mirror is a comfort and conveinence option for me, the turn signal mirrors are a safety issue, IMHO.

 

Nothing is free or cheap, but it can be cheaper than ordering these options at the point of purchase.

 

Y'all be safe.

I have it on my 04 Cobra. I installed it myself, it's very easy to install and it looks factory installed. Never had any problems with it and whenever someone is passenger in my car and sees what I have, they always want one installed on their Mustang.

 

The first time you are driving at night and an 18-wheeler is behind you, you'll be happy you got it!
