1. Press and hold button on car's rearview mirror
2. Press and hold button on garage door opener's remote control.
3. Light on Rearview mirror will flash rapidly.
4. Release both buttons.
5. Locate learning button on garage door opener (generally this can be found by tracing the antennae to where it is attached to the unit.)
6. Press and release "Learning button"
7. Press and release rearview mirror button repeatedly until garage door opens/closes but it should work the first or second time.

Worked on Genie Intellicode and Hyundai Tuscon

SOME GM UNITS HAVE A SNAP LOCK TO HOLD THE RVW MIRROR ON. BECAREFUL IF YOU TRY TO REMOVE IT. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WINDSHIELDS BROKEN FROM INEXPERIENCE

Hello, yes the glass can be replaced. you will need to see your local GM dealer for the glass. real simple to replace.

Carefully push the outside rearview mirror face on the inner edge, near the front door window glass, to allow access.

Insert a large flat-bladed screwdriver in the slot between mirror lens and the mounting base.

Grasp the mirror face firmly and pull it from the mirror body.

Remove the outside rearview mirror case from the outside rearview mirror housing and disconnect the heater wire, if equipped.

Using the palm of your gloved hand, press firmly on the center of the glass until the case seats onto the motor.

The mirror will make a snapping noise when properly seated.

Inspect the mirror for proper operation.

have mirror and wires checked in mirror for bad connection

9 time out of 10 it is the phone not the Uconnect. Try to pair a different phone on the device then see what happens.

try "autozone.com" or your local library for diagram and step by step instructions

silly question, but did you press the 2 buttons inwards on the bottom of the mirror?

Hiya...ALL factory-installed rearview mirrors are installed with different wires due to options.
About 6 different rearview mirrors are installed with those options such as On-Star, light, compass, and those features which use different wires....THIS CANNOT be modified with different rearview mirror....**for example, the Equinox owner attempt to pull out a factory-installed base rearview mirror and put in different one that has compass/temperature built into the rearview mirror**

However, the wires are located inside the front headliner which requires removing the sunvisor (and possible removal of interior plastic trim part at the left/right ends of the windshield) prior to pull the headliner down, and a small metal philips or torx screw is used to secure the rearview mirror onto the bracket glued to the windshield.

The best solution is to leave the original factory-installed rearview mirror in place.
