I love it. Easy install, and I like the look. I think it might have been worth it for the autodim alone. I must be lazy, since It's great not having to reach up and flip the mirror when someone's coming up on my a$$. I'm thinking of painting it to match, since I want to add the sunroof switch panel that you have,after I get my sunroof installed. I don't think the 4runner grey matches the Taco grey. If you don't mind, whats that little compartment to the right of the switches?
Thanks
Thanks

It is pretty straight forward to run the wire. You just have to hook on one power wire and one for ground and that it. I run the power wire through the fuse box, so the mirror will only turn on when the ignition is on.

This is where I tap into the fuse box. The grey and red color wire is the power wire for the mirror. Let me know if you have any other question.

So the 4Runner is the same as the Tacoma. I used that same open fuse slot for the a couple of taps, before I put in my aux fuse block.
