14 15 16 Lexus IS200 GS350 ES350 RC30 RearView Mirror Homelink Auto Dim Compass

Here is a detailed breakdown of the OEM interior rear-view mirror for the 2014-2016 Lexus IS and compatible models.

Overview

The OEM interior rear-view mirror for the 2014-2016 Lexus IS is an advanced electronic component, not just a simple piece of glass. It integrates several key convenience and safety features into a single unit. The vast majority of these vehicles came equipped with the feature-rich version, which is easily identifiable by the buttons on the bottom.

Key Features

This mirror typically includes three main electronic functions:

1. Auto-Dimming (Electrochromic): This is the primary safety feature. The mirror has sensors that detect bright light from behind the vehicle (e.g., another car's headlights). It then automatically darkens the mirror's glass to reduce glare, preventing the driver from being blinded and improving nighttime visibility. A small power button and indicator light allow you to turn this feature on or off.

2. HomeLink® Universal Transceiver: This is the integrated garage door opener system. The mirror features three programmable buttons along the bottom edge. These can be programmed to operate most garage doors, estate gates, and home security lighting systems, eliminating the need for bulky remote controls clipped to the visor.¹

3. Integrated Compass: A digital compass display is often included, typically located in the top-right corner of the mirror's glass. It provides the vehicle's current directional heading (e.g., N, SW, E).

Vehicle Compatibility

This interior mirror is a highly interchangeable part across several Lexus models from this era that share the same windshield mount and wiring harness.

• 2014-2015 Lexus IS250

• 2014-2016 Lexus IS350

• 2016 Lexus IS200t

• 2016 Lexus IS300 (AWD Model)

It is also a direct fit for other models in the Lexus lineup, including:

• 2015-2016 Lexus RC200t / RC300 / RC350

• 2015-2016 Lexus RC F

• 2013-2018 Lexus ES350 / ES300h

• 2013-2017 Lexus GS350 / GS450h

Important Notes for Replacement

• Plug-and-Play: For a vehicle that was originally equipped with this type of mirror, replacement is a simple plug-and-play process. There is no special dealer programming required.

• Check Your Wiring: It is crucial that your vehicle has the correct wiring harness in the headliner to power the mirror's functions. If you are attempting to upgrade from a basic, non-powered mirror, your vehicle may not have the necessary plug.

• Part Numbers: While the mirror is widely interchangeable, it is always the best practice to match the part number from the back of your original unit to the replacement. A common part number for this mirror is 87810-53180. Always verify before purchasing.
