I recently bought a 2022 SV and couldn't get the Tech Package due to limited supply. So I'm wondering about the different options for adding Homelink powered by the car (rather than relying on a battery operated remote).
1) Rearview mirror replacement. I did this once on a Bolt, but it had a dimming rearview mirror, so there was already power coming to the mirror. The SV has no power to the mirror, but there's that camera assembly right next to/above the mirror mount. So any pointers on:
a) Removing the existing mirror (there's no screw, but there's a slot on the downslope end of the attachment bracket of the mirror assembly).
b) A Homelink mirror that would use the same mount, with the wires coming out at the top of the attachment bracket.
c) How to snap the camera assembly cover off
d) Where/how to grab power there, and whether it's switched (preferred, I think) or constant power.
2) Headliner mount. Has anyone done this on a recent Leaf that would be (basically) identical to what I have? Perhaps with pictures/instructions?
3) Visor mount. The mirror light comes on even with the car off, so I assume only constant power is available. I can find some generic instructions on the web, wondering if there's anything more specific for a recent model Leaf.
Thanks,
Wayne
