If the wire connector is similar to the RAV4 you will need to pay attention regarding which T-tap you use. My Gen45 came with two taps for large diameter wires and two taps for small diameter wires.

You do not want to use the small wire T-taps on the large 12V aways on wire or the large ground wire if you elect to not use the round eye on the ground wire and modify it like I did to use a T-Tap


Also as I stated earlier check to see that the power light on the mirror goes out when you turn the ignition off. If it stays on just reverse the two 12V wires (unplug wires from T-Tap and switch)

On my Gen45 there was a attachment that goes below the mirror bracket (assume it is for the compass or Homelink). It was easier to install if you did it before you tightened the mirror.

Good luck and report your installation results when you get finished.
