Gentex
Auto-Dimming Mirror Descriptions and Part Number information
WembleySells.com
This page is here to help explain the differences between the
current line of Gentex Aftermarket
mirrors. These mirrors are
identified by a part number stamped on the back of the mirror housing. Earlier
model mirrors, manufactured between 2002 and 2005 used the 50-GENKxx part
number, examples 50-GENK50, 50-GENK20. Beginning in 2006, when newer model
mirrors began production, an "A" was added to the
end of the part number to indicate the newer style mirrors, examples 50-GENK50A,
50-GENK20A. The mirrors manufactured after
2006 are visually different than the older style mirrors and incorporate newer
technology with many improvements over the older mirrors. These newer "A" model
mirrors are the subject of this page. To see some of the differences and
improvements these newer mirrors have over the older mirrors view my HomeLink
Mirror Comparison page
here.
You can identify the
Part Number of your mirror by the stamp on the back of the mirror housing.
Please note that OEM
mirrors, mirrors manufactured for an automobile manufacturer like Nissan, Ford,
etc, will have the automobile makers part number and not a 50-GENKxxA part
number.

Descriptions for the current 2012 line of Gentex Aftermarket mirrors
The table below contains descriptions and pictures of some of the
current line of Aftermarket Gentex Auto-Dimming mirrors.
Please note that some of the 50-GENKxxA part numbers use the same
mirror and indicate only a difference in the wire harness included with the
mirror. For example the 50-GENK50A and 50-GENK51A both use the exact same mirror but
include different harnesses.
For these mirrors the "0" in the 50-GENKx0A
part number indicates an aftermarket harness that uses heavier
gauge color coded wire and includes in-line fuse holders, the "1" in the 50-GENKx1A
part number indicates a harness manufactured by Gentex that uses smaller gauge black
wire without the in-line fuse holders.

Aftermarket Harnesses include heavy gauge color coded wire, in-line fuse
holders and in-line connectors to assist with installation by separating
the harness into sections.
Gentex Harness
Gentex
Harnesses use a lighter gauge black ribbon wire. Wires are marked for
identification with a white stripe on one wire to aid installation. No
in-line fuse holders or connectors are included. Mirrors with
temperature sensors require the installer to insert the temperature
sensor wires into the mirror connector.
