Redneck Tech - VW ID.4 Homelink Mirror Installation

VW Part# 000-072-548-L

I installed the HomeLink mirror from a 2017 Golf (I think) in my ID.4. I needed the extra buttons because I have access to several locations that have disparate opened systems. If I didn’t do HomeLink, I’d have to carry 3 separate remotes to enter these areas.

Thanks for the video. 'Clockwise' means the way a clock hand moves . . . to the right. Counter-clockwise is to the left. Must be because the Scots drive on the wrong side of the road!

Thank you so much for this video…just installed it in my 2023 ID.4 Pro. Like others have commented, removing the first cover was the most challenging as the pins are in a different configuration than the ones in the video. In the process I nicked it up pretty badly ( I used a thin butter knife to prey it off) and knew that was going to really bug me. Before I replaced the trim pieces I used a nail file and nail buffer to smooth out the nicks. I would not have attempted this without your video. Thanks again!

2021 has three buttons, 2022-23 has 4 buttons. I stand corrected. Great instructional video

My VW dealer, (where I purchased my ID.4) quoted me $1, 020.00 for the mirror and installation. Thank you very much for posting this video! Thanks to you, I'm enjoying my new Homelink mirror at $270.00 and a five minute install, plus the satisfaction of doing it myself, with your help of course. Thanks again sir!

Thanks for this great video. New Century VW in Glendale quoted $500 to install this! With your help, I did it in less than an hour.

My local dealer wants $115 to install this. What a racket. Thanks for this video! I will now buy with confidence and install this baby myself.

Thank you so much! I installed myself and saved $200! The hardest part was getting it back on in the right position to turn and lock.

The hardest part is probably getting the trim pieces to come apart. Great video thanks!

It took me longer to program the garage doors than to install the mirror. It is a vast improvement and installed easily with no tools in a few minutes. I had three rolling code garage doors so had to press a button on the door unit and then the remote. There are instructions online from Homelink for all the various combinations of installations. Nice work! Thank you for posting.

Thank you for making a video summarizing your experience for everyone. My dealer quoted me $460 with installation. Luckily I saw your video before the part came in so I got a refund and found the same mirror online from another VW parts dealer for $195 shipped! Installed in 10 mins. So easy! FYI for others out there you may need to press the desired button on the homelink mirror three times for a second each to successfully program with a Genie opener in learn mode.

I just installed this in my Audi Q4 and it works great!! Your Instructions were perfect! However I just learned that in order to retain the dimming of the side mirrors, the Q version with the same part numbers is needed. I have not had the opportunity to test this yet.

I can't thank you enough for sharing this. I was having heart pains when the dealer told me they would charge me the same price I paid for the mirror to install it. Plus...I also agree that this mirror should come installed especially since I purchased the ID. 4 Pro S with all the bells and whistles. Thx again!

Thanks buddy. You made it so easy for me to replicate your efforts minus the counterclockwise struggle. Installed it within 7 minutes or so. Saved $300 for a dealer install. Brilliant!! Thanks once again !!

I had the same issue when we got ours. I went with a $35 Homekit adapter to my garage door and installed in 10 min. Now I can actually open my garage door with my watch, phone and CarPlay. Love it!

Thanks to your video I was able to order and install this myself. Thanks for sharing your install process.

Hi, I just installed it watching your video a few times you are a very skillful person as far as it comes to mechanics and if you got tools for iPhones to take apart, you definitely are very skillful. I was able to do it, but it took me one hour, trying to get the first plastic piece piece off Was rough it didn’t come off easy and then finally the two plastic parts came off at the same time. OK no big deal just take it apart and unsnap them both the second part was putting that mirror in the alignment so it stays up that was torture, but I did it, so it was pretty successful. Thanks to you I commend you on your skills.

Great How To Video. Have had Home Link on my cars for years now, but was bummed the ID.4 didn't have it. Glad I found your video. Now all I need is to get beyond my reservation for my ID.4. Hopefully by May I will be driving it. Thanks
