T'll tell you the 07 G35 X one i have is simple. Power wire, neutral wire, and a information wire.
It has compass ,Auto dimming, and 3 home link buttons. BTW it's auto dimming.

This mirror is huge i'am gonna try to use it.

Just three wires . Seems a better mirror than I30 but i'll take a look at it in a week or two.

Black neutral,brown power.

I swapped mine with a 09 Rougue backup camera mirror. Has the screen built in with auto dimmer. Ran the camera through the plastic license plate holder/trim in the trunk. It only took about an hour and a half.

I didn't pay that much for mine but same thing. It was worth it. I wanted a camera without a in dash screen.

Still have it?

JustSJust curious. home link is just a garage door opener? Do all 3 home.link buttons work after swapping in to a 5th a gen? Also I'm guessing these mirrors have their own compass inside?

There are various versions of these mirrors.

I put an auto dimming, compass, and Homelink in my Frontier. Everything works just by wiring it, (12v constant, parking lights, ground, and reverse).

Some others will have temperature, those need the temp sensor installed.
