madlock Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hello! One of the first upfits I plan is to upgrade the existing rearview mirror to include either the Ford Accessories Auto-dimming mirror with compass, temperature and Homelink, or a more capable alternative. The aforementioned mirror is made by Gentex and includes a 6-pin connector that provides power and other information to the vehicle (presumably temperature). Does anyone know if the Transit Connect includes the correct wiring connection points in the headliner to support relatively straightforward installation? Gentex also makes other, more capable, Ford OEM mirrors, including those with embedded LCD rear view camera monitors (something I'd LOVE to add to the TC). While they're orderable from various independent suppliers as Gentex items, they're not covered by the same 3/36 warranty vehicle warranties as when ordered as OEM Ford Parts, (plus I happen to be one of those who is fanatically "brand loyal", preferring Ford-exclusive components when possible). Mirrors like this are orderable as replacement parts for the Fusion, Mustang, and other vehicles that offer backup cameras in vehicles without navigation screens. My question is this... has anyone upgraded their TC mirror? And if so, has anyone added a backup camera with one of the integrated mirrors? If so, what connectivity is provided under the headliner? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
