F150 Rearview Camera mirror Install
I just got some new parts in today from the almighty Jp7, so I want to start a thread for this install, as I've decided to make it more complicated than it needs to be. Since he did this install, perhaps he can chime in on some of it.
What I have...
Autodimming rearview mirror with built in rear camera screen, mic, and compass out of 2010 F150 (pn 8U5A17E678EE)
Harness (pn 9L3Z14335JB)
Rearview license plate camera (generic)
What I want to do...
Obviously the main thing is the rear camera screen in the mirror. I didn't know it had the mic and compass built in, but I may try and utilize them. The harness I have only has wiring for the camera and the autodimming mirror function. The wiring overall doesn't seem to complicated, but I had to find the proper pinout for my mirror. Jp7 labeled all the connections I had but when I got it, I decided to do a little more research to see what I could get out of it.
I did find a pinout for the harness so that I can hook up these other features. I really have no use for the mic, but maybe I will add bluetooth to my stereo. the compass would be cool, I do have an OHC to install though, so nbd if I can't get it.
And pics of my goodies...
Not sure if I will work on it today. Too much to do....

Just a teensy update, I stuck the new mirror on for giggles. nothing is wired but I should be able to just plug AND play. All at the same time.
I can't seem to slide the new mirror ALLLL the way down. I feel like it needs to come down some more to snap into place and make it nice and tight. Right now it will wiggle a little if I pull on it. any tips?

Are you using the windshield mount from the new F-150 mirror or your original?
Make sure they are compatible. Otherwise you may need the same mount as the new one. Be careful and don't force it. Take a look at a 2010 F-150 that has the mirror and see if they are the same or check with a knowlegeable Ford Parts man.

Its 4 wires already put together, and color coded.
Usually cheaper than buying a few different colors. Plus its 14Ga. that's plenty big enough.
