I just got my 2014 EVO and realized it doesn't have a garage door opener. Luckily, I gave my daughter for Christmas a backup camera with a new rear view mirror for her 2011 Kia Soul. The Soul came with a Homelink auto dimming mirror with a compass so I had it just sitting here collecting dust.

This model Homelink has 4 wires.
Black => ground
Dark green => constant 12v
Light brown or maybe it is pink => switched 12v
White => not used. This is probably for a thermostat

I used the dome light for the constant 12v and for the ground. I ran a wire to the fuse box for the switched 12v.

Black from Homelink => Black dome light
Dark green from Homelink => Red dome light
Light brown from Homelink => Fuse box and I used the cigarette lighter fuse
White from Homelink => Not used

Pretty easy free mod. Well, free for me because I already had the extra mirror but you can get these used pretty cheap.

Nice i have a 2015 that came with autodim but no Homelink, wanted to do this on them but then decided not to. Thanks for the contribution, maybe I'll try againz

When not on, is there a black box by the compass?

When not on, the compass is off and there is a box for the LED lights but it is still reflective. The box isn't by the compass because it is the compass.

Nice job! I think I'm finally ready to get this done as well.
