Gentex auto dimming mirror
Can some one direct me to where or how I can install this new rear view mirror on my 2018 f350. I’m sure it’s easy but just wanted to see if there is a video out there. I’ve been searching and cannot find one

Its might look like a lot of reading but it leads you through the entire selection and installation of a GENTEX mirror albeit it was not for a SD but rather a Focus but the wiring is the same concept. I did my Focus with an eBay Gentex mirror...works beautiful.

I just purchased an 80 series with Homelink. Haven't opened the box yet, sorry. First is to remove the existing mirror. I read the above link to the Focus, but it looks like a different style than the SDs. I saw a You Tube video on this also. Put a small flat blade screwdriver in the bottom hole of the mirror bracket and carefully pry out while pulling the mirror up and out. There is no set screw or tab. The mirror bracket has small "ears" that slide over/behind the machined sides of the wedge-shaped metal windshield piece. As in most cases, this was for ease of assembly at the factory. I bought an adapter and wire cover, but you could always remove the OEM windshield piece and replace with a standard one (that uses a set screw). I plan on going over and then down the A pillar with the wires to the fuse box behind the passenger kick panel and using ATR "add a circuits"; one always hot (not timed) for the garage door and one ignition hot for the auto dim. Working on it this weekend.
