Just picked up a 2022 EX Nightfall and didn't even think to ask about this. I can't believe it doesn't come standard but nice video on how to "upgrade". Lol
Yea we didn’t realize it was going to be an issue until we pulled into our driveway lol. It was def an unexpected expense but honestly a really easy swap.
I can attest that this project is as easy as described. I just installed a Homelink mirror in my 2022 Telluride EX. It took about 10 minutes with a coffee break in the middle of installation. Kia Parts Guy could not comment on the compatibility of this mirror with the EX version. I think if I had the dealer make the install they would have installed a new wiring harness and cost me a bundle. Great video.
And now for the rest of the story. I just discovered the downside of this fix. IT ONLY WORKS WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. When the engine is secured the device does not work.
Yea that has been the only downside and takes some getting used to especially since I have an optima that it works when the engine is off. Doing research people said there is a way to wire it to the battery but it seemed like too much work
George, I think thats a good thing. If your garage is located attached to your house and you park the car in the driveway, if someone breaks into your car and the homelink was active, they could open your garage and possibly get into your house. Thats one senario why it good to only work when the car is running.@@georgerobertson4655
It will work with the car in Accessories without the car running--- security issue. If you park it outside and someone breaks into your car, you do NOT want them to get into the garage, which they could do if it worked with the car off. If any knows a way to see the buttons at night, i'd like to know.
No problem! Lol when we first got home I went to program the remote and realized it wasn’t installed a factory but fairly easy fix and a lot cheaper than going up in trim level lol
OMG I love you! Not only did you help me with this issue, you helped me solve another irritating feature of my '22 Telly EX Nightfall. Thank yooouuuuuu 🎉🎉🎉
@@TheNealsNextDoor Is there a fix for the memory seats like this? I'd be willing to do a little work, especially if the wiring was mostly there already on my EX NF P.
Thank you! Just got this exact vehicle on Saturday ! Got home with it tried programming the garage to learn I didn’t have it! Major bummer ? Definitely buying this mirror.
Agreed. I had it on my last kia (Sportage). I didn’t even think about asking if it was on this telluride. Did you have to tint the windows yourself? Mine aren’t tented. Also wrapping the roof on mine!
Yea every kia we had came with it standard so it was really odd that it only comes with the SX standard. Nah I had to get the windows tinted myself. I know some dealers do it for you but the charge a crazy amount so I just took it to a shop and I just got the legal percentage. It matches the rare windows fairly well. Yea my appointment for the roof wrap is nov 28th and I can’t wait!
You can’t and I actually didn’t realize that until just now. I’m so used to pressing the second button. I just spoke to me wife and she said she turns the dome light on most nights when she uses it
Hey!! Since you have an LX I would go through the dealer since you will have to run power to the mirror. The kit comes with everything you need but running the power will require removing a lot a stuff like the headliner.
Sorry I wasn’t very clear, i just got my 2021 Kia Telluride EX Nightfall/Premium Package and the rearview mirror was UVO equipped but I really want the Homelink. I called the dealership and they told me, they can’t install it for me because it says on the description “This Accessory Mirror is NOT Applicable to Models With Factory Equipped UVO Mirrors.” So I was wondering if you have the same UVO equipped auto dimming mirror..
Nah it doesn’t. All our optima will work with the car off but not the telluride. I even went on the forum I’m apart of and it seems to have mixed answers even with people who bought theirs installed from the factory. Some worked and some didn’t.
@@TheNealsNextDoor yea, I read somewhere there's a way to wire it to an always on power but probably not worth it. Thanks! It's still better than using a regular remote IMO.
If you park you car outside the garage you do NOT want power going the homelink when the car is off, only on accessories. If someone broke into your car parked outside and you had power to the homelink, they could simply push a button and be on your garage or worse yet you house.
@@TheNealsNextDoor They forgot the Towing Package we ordered. Dealer was nice and was willing to put on a hitch, but it isn’t the same, so we choose to just wait, again.
@@elvendarkness1 that lol a great!! It’s costing me $250 to get the roof wrapped in gloss black. I have to save a up a little an then I’ll get for entire front wrapped in the clear protective film. We spend a lot of time on the Hwy and I hate those pebble chips in the paint. I hope the bump you to the front of the line somehow

THANK YOU, This was a game saver in my house. Knowing this fix was this easy is great.
No problem! Lol when we first got home I went to program the remote and realized it wasn’t installed a factory but fairly easy fix and a lot cheaper than going up in trim level lol
Thank you for this. Huge feature that I didn't realize doesn't come on the EX. Wife and I are looking at buying one.
No problem! 4 months in an I’m really happy with it still!
OMG I love you! Not only did you help me with this issue, you helped me solve another irritating feature of my '22 Telly EX Nightfall. Thank yooouuuuuu 🎉🎉🎉
Glad I could help! Let me know if you have questions on anything else!!
Got mine for Christmas installed it today. Super easy. Thanks for the video. The hardest part was figuring out how to connect it to the garage 🤦🏼♀️
Lmaooooooooo exactly lol
Thanks! Disappointed when I discovered the EX Nightfall did not have this feature. Great that there is a easy solution!
Yea it was disappointing having to tell the wife I missed this and the memory seats lol
@@TheNealsNextDoor Yes, that was the other key thing as well. LOL Other than those two things(one fixed), she is VERY happy with it.
@@TheNealsNextDoor Is there a fix for the memory seats like this? I'd be willing to do a little work, especially if the wiring was mostly there already on my EX NF P.
@@stinerart1 Soo far not one that I can find. I have been looking though because it would really be nice to have
Thank you! Just got this exact vehicle on Saturday ! Got home with it tried programming the garage to learn I didn’t have it! Major bummer ? Definitely buying this mirror.
Yea same thing happen to us!! I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal but I really enjoy having it in the mirror lol.
Agreed. I had it on my last kia (Sportage). I didn’t even think about asking if it was on this telluride. Did you have to tint the windows yourself? Mine aren’t tented. Also wrapping the roof on mine!

Awesome can’t wait to see it!
Thanks for the info...had same thing happen w ex model. Good video
Thank you! Lol nothing like walking outside to set up your garage door opener and realizing it doesn’t have one lol
Excellent description and help. Thank you!
No problem!
Nice tutorial on mirror replacement! Thank you!
Thank you and no problem!!
Anyone know if the HomeLink mirror is available for the 2024 EX-X telluride. The Stealership wants too much.
How do you see the 3 buttons at night?
You can’t and I actually didn’t realize that until just now. I’m so used to pressing the second button. I just spoke to me wife and she said she turns the dome light on most nights when she uses it
Btw, in the navigation menu you can cancel your route, I remember you saying that in an earlier video..
do you think this would work for a 2022 EX Telluride?
I got the LX but I would like it for the garage door opener would it be good just for that?
Hey!! Since you have an LX I would go through the dealer since you will have to run power to the mirror. The kit comes with everything you need but running the power will require removing a lot a stuff like the headliner.
Does your Telluride have “UVO”? I am being told that if it has “UVO” it will not work???
I believe it does have Uvo, I never tried to use it. I’ll report back tomorrow with an update
So my Mom just put in an order for a EX, question... do you have the mood lighting in the front that goes to the second row too?
Nah I don’t. From my understanding, everyone thought the ex had it since that’s what the original specs said but it’s actually only one the Sx
@@TheNealsNextDoor that sinks
You did good job^^
Thank you!
Do you have the UVO link mirror before installing this one?
Nah all you need is the mirror with the auto dimming feature which should come standard the EX.
Sorry I wasn’t very clear, i just got my 2021 Kia Telluride EX Nightfall/Premium Package and the rearview mirror was UVO equipped but I really want the Homelink. I called the dealership and they told me, they can’t install it for me because it says on the description “This Accessory Mirror is NOT Applicable to Models With Factory Equipped UVO Mirrors.” So I was wondering if you have the same UVO equipped auto dimming mirror..
Hey!! Ok so I didn’t have a UVO equipped mirror. My UVO is on the roof next to my sun roof. But let me do some digging to see if it’s possible
Where did you purchase the rear view mirror?
Let me see if I can find the website
Anything on UVO on yours?
Does the homelink work when the car is turned off?
Nah it doesn’t. All our optima will work with the car off but not the telluride. I even went on the forum I’m apart of and it seems to have mixed answers even with people who bought theirs installed from the factory. Some worked and some didn’t.

Welcome back, they messed up on our order, another wait, two months or more... sigh. Did you get the top of the car repainted yet?
What?!?! What did they do?

@@elvendarkness1 yea because if they just put on a hitch I don’t think you would have the rear air suspension.
