Drew888 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Driving the wifes Land Rover LR3 today I was reminded of the very faint LED light in the roof (near the map lights) that just barely lights up the center console. It's so faint it mimics moonlight and it's BAD@$$. I don't know anything LED. Who can help with this?

ppettit2005 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 officially subscribing to this post. does anyone know how to set the auto day/night mirror to be automatically off? I can't see as well at night, and this would greatly improve my car for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeeeeYa Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 officially subscribing to this post. does anyone know how to set the auto day/night mirror to be automatically off? I can't see as well at night, and this would greatly improve my car for me. On my car, which has a HomeLink Mirror, one just pushes a button to turn the auto/dim feature on/off. If yours doesn't have this, and it is important enough for your nighttime driving safety, you could install a HomeLink Mirror. They are available from Subaru and, I believe, are plug-and-play. Some cars require an adaptor mounting kit, also available from Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 IIRC - On mine there's two buttons. One turns on/off the compass, the other turns on/off the mirror. Your owner's manual should explain how to turn each off. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppettit2005 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have a home link mirror... I want the default setting to be off, not on... shouldn't be that hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 ^ My first thought was to put a piece of black electrical tape over the mirror sensor...and then I realized how stupid idea that would be, as it would render your mirror in "dark" mode almost always! Yeah, I can be pretty dense sometimes! I've used (and currently still use, in my new Tribeca) the mirror's harness to get power for my SpeedCheetah GPS Mirror. This usually takes me a couple of minutes to play around in the car as I determine which pin slot does what, in terms of actually feeding uninterrupted but ignition-switched 12V power. With that thought in-mind, I was wondering if you shouldn't just de-pin the two or three power wires feeding the mirror, and experiment with the final harness/pin combo that'll (hopefully) allow the HomeLink and compass functions to still be powered, but will cut the power feed to the mirror's light sensor...... <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Style Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 If you have an old comfortable car seat laying around and an old broken office chair...for about $20 in hardware, you can make your own custom office chair... Here is a link to mine. The chair is from my 05 LGT...I had an old office chair with adjustable arm rests...with a little fumbling and experimenting...you can replace the old uncomfortable office chair with your fully adjustable LGT ones... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/new-office-chair-201260.html I wish the plastic surrounds went all the way around the seat, but depending whether you use the driver or passenger seat, that side will be bare...not bad looking though... My issue is the height...I'm 5'6" and my legs dangle...I feel like a little kid getting in and out of the chair...I need to modify the bracket to lower the height down a bit...

Drogos Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 homelink has 2 sensors, front and rear. Light intensity is compared between the two so you were actually right. By blocking one of them you can control how mirror will react. If you block the rear facing sensor it will in theory put mirror in default/no tint mode ^ My first thought was to put a piece of black electrical tape over the mirror sensor...and then I realized how stupid idea that would be, as it would render your mirror in "dark" mode almost always!
