Its very simple on a 2011 cut the factory loop that would have supplied the power/ground if the visors made it on to the 2011 and simply connect the visor power/ground to the loop. I used electric tape so not to f@ck up the connectors on the visor if I ever find a factory connection piece. It all works great garage door and security gate open and close like butter. Love it.
Two questions:

1. Is there any difference between the 2011 and 2012 passenger side other than the lighted mirror?

2. Do you have to pull the headliner down to access the wires?

Thanks

So there definitely is no plug on the 2011s? Could you post pics showing exactly how you wired this please?

They made a couple changes in 2012

1. Both visors can slide on the rail mount about 3 inches

2. The passenger visor has a little plug that can be removed and you can insert a couple different accessories, like sunglasses clip. The accessories are sold separately for about 12.00

3. The nice thing about the new visors is that they are flush all the way across the backside, not like the 2011 that have the metrodome covering the mirror. Now that I brought up the mirror, it's USELESS it's so small if you look directly at it, the only thing that fits in the mirror are you eyeballs.

No, you don't have to remove the headliner to wire the driver side. You might have to for the passenger side. I didn't wire up the passenger side because I really don't want my girl tempted to apply makeup in my stang.

Some questions:

Are the wires used to connect the sunvisors located in the overhead map light? If so,I suppose you had to "fish" them over to the visor mount?

Does it matter how you connect wires--hot and gound?

Any other issues of note?

Thanks

On the 2011 there is a wire loop that is used for the sync mic. There is a hot (blue wire) and ground (black) that can be used. I found out that there is a wire harness that ford sells for this. There are three options, I ordered the one I think might work. It costs around 40.00 but it's better than splicing to me. When I get it and if it works I'll update here with the part number.

I just called my dealer and ordered the driver's side for my convertible. I should have it early next week. I'll post pictures when I get it. I'm hoping it isn't too different looking so I don't have to replace the right side as well.

It is, you should get both sides.

Your pics will determine if I do it I think. The difference between the
coupe and convertible are significant

This is what the coupe visor looks like, probably not any different on vert. Nice and flush and the passenger looks the same minus car2u

I was gonna buy these for my 11 until I saw the pictures you posted, I really like how the 11 visor has the mirror cover in the shape of the hood. I think I will keep the cool mirror cover than have just a simple flat cover.

Thanks for pics man!

I know it might be a slightly harder install, but why not just switch out the rear view mirror for one that has homelink? They can be found for under $300 with compass. I have a homelink mirror on my Toyota Sienna, and it works great. If I were not ordering a 2012 GT, I would think that I would rather have the Homlink system in the mirror than the current system in the visor.

The factory mirror contains the mic for sync.
