Toyota Rav4 Frameless Homelink Mirror Installation 

This video really convinced me I could do this myself in 10 minutes. Thanks!!!Threw away the 5 page instructions printed out. Got a T20 bit and paid $200 for the mirror from local SoCal Dealer and accomplished this on my wife’s 2023 RAV4 XLE gas. Simple unscrew and slide the mirror off to the left. Then a couple of tries putting the new mirror into the right position to slide to the right and screw in. Programming it to my Liftmaster Garage was also very easy. Instructions in the box were clear. Keep in mind this mirror is powered by an approximately 10 year non serviceable battery according to the manual. There are absolutely no other frills to this mirror so don’t expect more than a mirror that opens your garage door. Enjoy.

The disclaimer about the torx size and accompanying music made me lol. Thanks for the video. Helpful!

Worked for a 2023 RAV4 XLE, 2-minute job, thanks for the video.

Thank you, I was able to install the mirror on my Highlander '22 without the need to take off the plastic cover. I just had to tilt the anchor a little bit to get it out and put the new mirror back in the same way.

Installed this on my 2024 RAV4 Premium XLE Hybrid. The dealer told me ~ $400 to replace the installed standard mirror. I found the Homelink mirror online for about $115 and used these steps to replace the standard mirror in less than 5 minutes. One suggestion: Program the mirror before installing, just to make sure it works the way you expect.

I just replaced the mirror on my 2021 Rav4. A few points: 1. You cannot unscrew the mirror and slide it out without removing the covers. 2. The entire outer cover will pop off if you slide it forward. But it will be trapped onto the mirror. 3. The inner cover is a real handful. You either need a special tool or you need to remove the outer cover and depress the inner cover retention tabs from the inside. This is what I did. Here's a process that will work: 1. Loosen the torx screw a few turns until the mirror will slide around. 2. Slide the outer cover forward till it pops off. It will be dangling from the mirror. 3. Slide the mirror to the rear and the whole assembly will come off, housing trapped on the mirror. 4. Depress the tabs and remove the inner cover to separate housing from mirror. 5. Install new mirror. 6. Slide the outer housing on (to the rear) 7. Slide the inner housing on (forward) If you knew all this to start with it would take you all of 5 minutes.

Thanks for the tutorial! This mirror also works for 2022 GR86.

Awesome! I am going to put this mirror on my 2021 Prius LE when the mirror arrives at the dealer tomorrow! I was worried about removing the plastic housing and love that I can maybe change it without taking the housing off! Thanks!

Did this install today. The shortcut method didn't work on my 2020 Corolla. Had to take off the plastic surround. You were right about the fragile plastic. Definitely have to take your time and be patient.

Hey thanks so much for this video! Just ordered one of these mirrors for my 2021 Corolla Hatchback which my Toyota parts department confirmed fitment on. Glad I don’t have to risk breaking any plastic.

The mirror will coming today! I will try this method see how it works 👍

Thanks. Going to do this on our 21 Prius that had all the features we wanted except this.

Very helpful video. Thanks, I'll have mine done in 5 minutes

Very helpful video! I’ll be installing one on my 21 Corolla hatch next week!

Thanks, worked nicely on 2021 RAV4. I think it is the T15 drive!

The female mount on the mirror is wider than the opening in the round black plastic cover mounted to the windshield. You may get lucky and force it out without breaking the cover .. or maybe not. Your chances of success are 100% if you take a moment to remove the cover before removing the installation screw on the existing mirror.

Hello there, I’m confused here. How do you get power to the mirror?

Very cool. I just got a 2023 Rav4 Hybrid SE trim package. I does not come standard with the Frameless Homelink mirror. Do you know if this process you just did for your 2020 Rav4 is the same for the 2023 Rav4 Hybrid? I believe that the part number is still the same. Thanks in advance.

I was hoping for a video to change the battery in case one of my customers asks. I don't see any obvious removable cover. It's lithium and supposed to last a long time but it's not forever.

This was really helpful!

cool. how often do you have to change the battery?

I like the installation but the but you said that this is an auto dimming mirror which I see a lever on this so is it really or is it a manual dimming mirror .

Where does the power come from?

Member, this is a battery system,using a non replaceable battery

Can anyone confirm that this particular mirror in the video is in fact auto-dimming? I have the same one in my vehicle and it does not auto-dim. It has the small lever on the bottom end which leads me to believe it isn't. Thank you in advance for any help.

The new mirror seems to have a manual tilt tab on it but you mention that its auto dimming. What is that tab for? Oh and I assume since there was no wiring connection that there must be batteries to replace.

Nice and thanks for the part number

Hi, thanks for the video! Does it fit Venza 2021?

thanks for the video, I have a RAV-4, 2019gv, I have the same mirror, only the battery icon is crossed out on the top right, as I understand it, the camera is not connected, how to connect it, thanks, I'm waiting for an answer.

I didn’t know this was this easy. I have a 2018 RAV4 and would love to do this install. If anyone knows if this part number will fit or of the part number that will I would appreciate it. Thanks DIY Dave!

Hi, I notice that the dealer can install auto dimming mirror as well. Do you know if they install this one with battery or is it a different one that tap in the vehicles power? I am getting a Rav4 prime SE and very much want this mirror to operate the garage door. Thank you for the video.

Ok well how did you get power to the new mirror?

Is it possible to replace the battery?

If its auto dimming why do you have the bottom toggle switch on the mirror??

Will this fit a 2016 rav4?

What powers the mirror since it is auto-dimming? Is it Solar-powered?

There is no plug?

Is it auto dim as well?

LOL, those things are junk, what happens when the battery dies in the battery???? also NO AUTODIMMING!!!!

Where does it get power?
