The first thing I did to my '03 Evo was replace the mirror. The top of the line Gentex mirror has all the bells and whistles. Auto-dimming, outside temp, home-link, compass and even a lamp. Cost me $400 + $75 for install. Worth every penny.

$475 for a rearview mirror that's useless?! Man, you must have money flowing all over the place. hahahaha.

I have a compass on my radar detector. Homelink was what I'm interested. I wonder if you could just take one from another factory one and use that.

Someone find out.

I think you could take one from one of these cars.

I have never seen Homelink on an OEM mirror. Only as buttons on the driver's sun visor - and that was not just in a Mitsubishi. Compass, temp and Onstar are the only things I've seen on a OEM rearview mirror.

damn, you do have to get this for the aftermarket if you want homelink.

When you get used to a feature on a car and it's no longer there, it bothers you. Auto-dimming mirror with home-link is NOT useless, not to me anyway. I would have paid a lot more if I had to. It's something I just had to have. The mirror is virtually identical to the one I have in my Fx-45 minus the temp gauge, meaning, the oem mirror does have the home-link built in.

RobS, where in NJ did you get that installed? I am sick of driving around with 2 garage remotes!

I got mine installed at Sound Effects in Paramus. They did a great job! I bought the mirror online though. If you're interested in an alarm, they do quality install on that too. With remote trunk release.
