How To Upgrade Base Rear View Mirror to Homelink Mirror on a 2018 Subaru Forester. This applies to all models. This video will show how to upgrade, remove, replace, and install a homelink mirror. This covers the steps on how to remove rear view mirror, locate the existing wiring, connect the new home link mirror into the new wiring, and use the home link rear view mirror. This mirror has a garage opener built into it and auto dimming. A person can sync their home link mirror with their garage instead of having a separate clicker or remote. It is worth it doing the home link upgrade conversion if you have a basic mirror from a base model. 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 Subaru Forester Outback Impreza Crosstrek and Ascent - the wiring comes pre-existing and can be done.
