I've considered the Homelink rear view mirror mod, however I was never able to find a model with both the homelink and maplights.

I found the Mito (Gentex) mirror on that ubiquitous auction site as a new take-out from a Tacoma pickup at half the retail price of a new one.
It has an integrated backup display. With the camera wired into the backup lights and run up to the mirror, the display is only visible when the tranny is put into reverse. Bonus - the mirror is also self-dimming, whereas my stock one wasn't.

Do you have a model number for this mirror? Homelink/Gentex website does not show a model with all three of the options I need; Homelink, autodimming (for hardwiring the radar detector) and maplights.
Thanks!
Thanks!
