Install an App-Tronics mirror in your vehicle

Your SmartNav 5R or SmartVision mirror includes a mount that allows you to install it in a wide variety of vehicles. If you own a select Honda or Subaru vehicle, your mirror uses an anchor that's not compatible with that included mount. This handy MM02 mirror mount from App-Tronics lets you install your App-Tronics mirror in those vehicles without any modifications. It includes machine screws to help you install the mirror.

In select Honda and Subaru vehicles, you can attach this mount to the existing mirror anchor in your vehicle. See illustration below for more information. If you don't own a Honda or Subaru, you have two options:

If the attachment end of your car's rear-view mirror mount looks like the one pictured in the bottom right corner of this illustration, you can use this mirror mount to add a SmartNav 5R or SmartVision mirror to your vehicle without removing the anchor from your car.

Things to check before ordering

Your windshield angle must be between 20-50 degrees, with no cracks anywhere in the windshield and/or chips near the mirror mount.

App-Tronics recommends professional installation of the SmartNav 5R or SmartVision. If you're installing the mirror yourself, you should have the following tools handy: wire strippers and cutters, voltmeter (NO test lights), basic automotive A/V installation tools, panel tools, zip ties, electrical tape, soldering gun and solder, and a razor blade.
