Thanks! I will skip the LR cable.
So your connection is: Mirror > Fakra cable (50 cm) > Camera/cover. That seems like do-able with my skill set. =D |

You just need a female to female cable. I used a 5m in my 110 it’s too longs but works.

Got it. I read entire threads again and got the idea that LR164584 is basically converting Female to Male connections. So if I buy Fakra Female to Female, I can eliminate and connect mirror and the camera with just one cable. For my Defender 90, I ordered 6 ft (1.82 m) female to female. I hope the length and connection works.
As I now fully ordered all the parts, I'll report back once I have all parts and installed. Thank you everyone for supporting my project! US Spec Defender 90, these are the parts I ordered: • LR1403340 Smart Mirror with Home Link - used from US 110 donor car https://www.ebay.com/itm/375814666311 • LR140535 Fin Camera (US specific) - suppose to come with the cover https://www.ebay.com/itm/386774670497 • Fakra Cable Female to Female (6 ft / 1.82 m) - cheap eBay version https://www.ebay.com/itm/133373277615 |

Hi. I want to attempt the mirror upgrade. My question is, what is the easiest way to get the plastic housing around the mirror arm off? It feels rather fragile. Don’t want to break it.
Thanks |

I just used a trim removal tool like the one pictured and just carefully inserted it into the line down the middle of the trim and eased them apart.

I was a bit apprehensive but it came apart easy.

I tried to install yesterday but found out Fakra Cable 6 ft / 1.82 m wasn't long enough for D90. So I ordered 10 ft (3m). Will report back buys. Thanks! |
