Installing Ford's HomeLink in a XLT.

[ProperCrab]

Who'd you order it through? I ordered from Kia.Parts on the 15th shipped the 17th and delivered on the 22nd. If you ordered it through Kia you need to respond to their email confirm your vin OR tell them it fits your application and your not using it on Kia.



No, you have to use the line taps provided in the kit from Kia. It's as simple as plug and play tho. Some people on the 14th gen FB group have modified the two harnesses to make it plug and play.

Quickparts.com but I emailed them and now have tracking into and should be here 1/6.

Can I trouble you for a pic? Just super curious on if it looks out of place. Thanks man

Nah, it looks great. Even better than Fords, imo, because it's more rounded/ squared off.

Here's a link to a write up someone did, took me all of 15 minutes including programing to do.


Here's the same photo incase the FB post doesn't load for someone. Top is the Kia, bottom is Ford

Night auto-dimming still work?

Yep, works great. Huge selling point for the XL & STX folks.

Thinking of adding this to my new F150 XLT. I put one in a Toyota Tacoma years ago. Got it from here - https://www.bobsmirrors.com/Gentex-...For-Select-2010-2022-Ford-Vehicles_p_353.html

I mean is an $140 is worth the 'plug and play' aspect? Otherwise, the mirrors are nearly identical. Looks like the removed the compass from the kia and added a separate button for something, auto dim on and off? (vs just one on/off button)?

When you say programming, you just mean the mirror itself for the garage openers or does it have to be set with forscan?

Looks like you have to be signed in to FB and in the group, sorry about that.

Just that it need to be programmed to the garage door. It's as simple as pushing a few button.

Easy day. What’s the fb group if you don’t mind sharing.

The one linked above is "2021+ Ford F-150" (click the little F in the top corner). There is also a "14th gen f150" group that's decent as well

Is there anything you could copy and paste to me in a conversation or on here if allowed? I'm not on facebook. (basically anti-social)

I'm guessing the thing that says set aside if dropped is the camera?

Nah, all of the comments are either; thanks installed it was easy, how do you pop the covers off, or poor 'pheasants,' should have got a loaded lariat.

Im not following, sorry. You do have to remove the cover which as the lane keeping camera in it.

You can read sticker on the camera in the one pic. It says if dropped set aside . Must be really fragile. Thanks for getting back. Looks like they are on backorder now. Everyone thinks it's a good idea.
