I know this is an older thread, but has anyone had this mirror installed on their base model Z yet?

I had Nissan install it for me, & I hooked my radar up to it. It's def worth buying

Mike - You say 20-minutes in the other thread. Seriously? Including disconnecting the battery, pulling and reinstalling trim and all?

NewYorkJon - If you wouldn't mind, how much did the dealer charge for the install for us not so savy types?

It wasn't cheap, they charged me $400 for the mirror & install. I'd say don't fuss with it, and just let them install it, it def is a cool part, it has a digital compass on it, it dims with changing light conditions, I hooked my radar up to it, and it opens my garage door pretty quick.

Seriously, 20 minutes. I didn't disconnect the battery, and only had to remove 3 pieces of trim and pull the door weatherstrip back.

Nissan Auto-dim Rearview Mirror (w/ compass & Homelink)

Plus the Installation Instructions are listed on there site also. Very cool and for $260 not bad I can live with that. I just wanted to pass this bit of info. on in case someone else wanted the homelink for there car. I just hate having the garage door open on the visor.

Isn't this the same thing? You can probably save a bunch by getting a used one.

yep, you would have to make your own wires, but thats fairly simple to save $200.

Another option is the Flash2Pass system. A small transmitter mounts under the hood and taps into the high beam wires. The receiver replaces the garage door opener switch in the house/garage. You flash your high beams twice and the garage door opens or closes.
