I may have found out why our rear view mirrors suck...
First and foremost: I may be wrong.
I got tired of my crappily looking rear view mirror.
I went on ebay and bought an ES350 version sans Homelink for $35....
After I installed install the ES version, I started examining the GS version I took off.
I found absolutely NO reference to Gentex.(Even when fully disassmbled) Gentex is basically the gold standard when it comes to mirrors. I believe Lexus cheaped out and went with some other maker (Tokirika) that only looks like Gentex.
Mine looks worse then the one pictured above. Does the ES mirror also have direction display, auto, ect like ours does?
I believe it has the compass but I haven't wired mine up yet. It is for sure auto dimming. My windows are tinted so I don't really care about that feature.
