Since I have sold my car I don't think I will be back in a E9X anytime soon, so I am looking to sell my auto-dipping Homelink mirror.

Now this mirror is unique and not offered for sale in Australia. BMW have the following mirrors made for their cars:-

1) US and Aust market have 315MHz frequency receivers in their mirrors for the ignition remotes.
2) European market runs 433MHz frequency receivers in their mirrors for the ignition remotes.

* The US market Homelink modules located in the mirror only operate within the 288-433MHz range.
* The European market Homelink modules located in the mirror 288-434MHz as well as 868MHz.

So the problem (and why BMW don't offer it as an option in Australia) is that they don't make a 315MHz mirror with a European Homelink module that works with the Australian garage remotes at 434MhZ.

I bought a US mirror and transplanted the latest Euro homelink module in it as per this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1159452
Please note that this mirror has the provision for an alarm with the thin red clown nose at the bottom of it. If you don't have an alarm (which most Australian cars don't) then the clown nose doesn't flash.

So this is the ultimate solution for Australian cars as you won't find another mirror like mine anywhere! I am asking $500 for it plus postage. It cost me a lot of money through trial and error (about $800), but I happen to know that most BMW mirrors retail new for close to $1000.

Please check that it will work with your remote by looking here: http://www.homelink.com/assets/downl..._ukenglish.pdf

Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection. I am located in Tasmania, PM me if interested.

Why didn't you just buy a US model then If it works for Aus frequencies? Or is there a difference between left and right hand drive?

Do our cars need the European module?

[EB89]

I'm interested in this, I have a garage remote and a boom gate remote, however I can't find either in the PDF

It appears as though you have misunderstood my post.

The US cars and the Australian cars run 315MhZ ignition remotes. These mirrors with this frequency are only available with a US Homelink module that goes up to 433MhZ. Australian garage remotes run at 433.8MhZ, so Australian remotes won't connect up to the Homelink US module inside the mirror.

Conversely all European mirrors are 433MhZ for the ignition remotes, and the Homelink modules go to 434MhZ, so these mirrors won't work in Australia as the ignition remotes are 315MhZ, but they will work with Australian garage remotes.

What I did was take a Aus/US mirror and fitted a Euro Homelink module in to it, so it is a hybrid.

However I think that there is a difference between E93 and E90\1\2 mirrors, and I am not sure if this mirror will fit in a E93 cab, but it will in a E90 sedan or E91 tourer and E92 coupe.

What frequency does it run at and is it rolling code or fixed?

It worked with my fixed code gate and rolling code B&D remote.

Homelink won't work as that remote works at 27Mhz.

[EB89]

Bugger, oh well good luck

[NBTBRV8]

That is an odd ball frequency.

Id be very interested if it fits an E93.

Let me do some homework, but I have a feeling that cab mirrors are different in some way.

[NBTBRV8]

As there is no specific part number for the mirror I have as it is a hybrid of AUS/US and Euro internals, if I take the AUS/US part number of 51169174309 (which is the main item, Homelink is just a clip in module within it), RealOEM says it will fit:

So it appears as though it will fit a E93 plus a whole host of other models

Ok, so now i just need to check that my remote is compatible with the door at home.
Ill have to check this when i get home.
Also did you end up getting the backing without the clown nose to work?

I didn't fit the backing without the clown nose because I couldn't work out how to get it off the metal ball end of the bracket that clips on to the glass for fear of breaking it. I still have it but these mirrors are so fragile that I didn't want to risk the damage, even to pull mine apart again.

That would be the ultimate way to finish it off though.

The US Homelink mirrors are easy to get, the rare part is the Euro Homelink module, so that is what makes it unique.

[R32GOJIRA]

Ah ok.
Ill just double check if its compatible with my system when i get home.

[NBTBRV8]

For those that have messaged and asked me, this mirror will work:

1. If you already have a auto-dimming mirror,
   
2. It doesn't need any coding if you already have a auto-dimming mirror,
   
3. You can buy a retrofit cable for an auto-dimming mirror which will then require coding,
   
4. Homelink will work with the vast majority of remotes within the 288-434MHz as well as 868MHz range, both fixed and rolling code.
   
5. The Homelink pdf link doesn't list some remotes available in Australia.
   
6. I can't tell you if your specific remote will work or not, but it worked with my Fadini gate and B&D door.

I hope that helps.

Bump TTT

Finally got around to checking my garage door (i completely forgot sorry :/), aparently my door operates at a frequency of 433.92, so I am assuming this is within the range?

Yes that is the standard operating frequency in Australia and Europe, not the US, which is why US homelink mirrors don't work here, but you need the 315mhz frequency of the US mirrors for our car remotes, hence why European mirrors don't work here.

What brand door have you got and what model remote is it? I have a B&D door and the newer 4 button remote wouldn't transmit long enough for the homelink to capture its full frequency. I bought an older 2 button remote off eBay programed it to my door and then used this to program the homelink. It was the remote model listed for B&D in the homelink pdf link above.

Garage door is a chamberlain MLR750.

So a Google search says you use a 3 button remote, model 84335eml and that remote is listed as being compatible with European Homelink modules. So in theory it should work fine.
