Anyone know if the auto-dimming/homelink mirror (option on the xA) will work in an xB? Through my experience, the homelink in my wife's car has a much better range than my regular garage remote...

Through my experience, the homelink in my wife's car has a much better range than my regular garage remote... XBman 07-06-2004, 03:16 AM it prob would work. It would be interestering to see if it did. Al-Truistic 07-06-2004, 07:20 AM Dang! I definitely want this in my xB...I wonder if it would work and how hard it would be to hook up? avus 07-06-2004, 09:12 PM i've been told it wouldn't cuz the mirror mount for both are different. the xA mounts on the windshield and the xB on the headliner part. Reno 07-06-2004, 09:27 PM i'm sure you can get an aftermarket mirror installed that would work on the xB. ecandlcubed 07-07-2004, 01:19 AM you would need really good adhesive to get the mount to glue on the windshield. i had no luck with the stuff sold at my local auto parts :cry: . i believe the the mount comes with the replacement windshield so you don't have to glue to old one on. i can't find any aftermarket dimming mirror that would fit on the headliner. anyone has luck? dunar 07-07-2004, 11:20 AM The auto-dimming mirror part is less important to me than the homelink. Right now, I'm looking at MITO's Homelink Visor (http://www.mitocorp.com/homelink_visor.htm) (I've got an info request in through their website.) I also wonder if the auto-dimming mirror from the xA would fit on the mounting arm in the xB - the mirror mount "ball" seems smaller then I've seen on other cars. I wonder if it's the same between the Scions, tho.. That way I could avoid sticking anything to my windshield (I've already become accustomed to the great field of view in my xB and don't want to muck it up with a mirror!) mikochu 07-07-2004, 11:30 AM My parents have built-in homelinks in their vehicles. I modded my security gate remote to my high beams. Works well...and it's flashy (no pun intended?). People try to flash their high beams to open the gate too...doesn't work :lol: XBman 07-08-2004, 02:36 AM woah thats pretty trick, but how do you use your high beams for regular driving?? mikochu 07-08-2004, 02:48 AM I use them like normal... I actually started using them more after I installed my gate remote...just to test the integrity of my mod. it's been about a month and a half and everything still works fine.
