Video Transcript for Review of K Source Replacement Mirrors - Replacement Honda CR-V Driver's Mirror - KS88CJ

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this K Source replacement side view mirror. This is gonna be a direct replacement for the driver side factory mirror on your 2017 newer Honda CR-V. This is modeled after your CR-V's original look and fit, so you really shouldn't be able to tell that this is a replacement mirror. It should look like it came with your CR-V right from the factory, so you don't have to worry about that piece-together-from-the-junkyard sort of look.

It should all be very integrated for you. It's got the same footprint as the original, so you're not gonna have to worry about drilling holes or anything like that. Just as simple as taking the old one off, putting this new one in its place, all those bolts are gonna line up properly, and you're gonna have the plug that plugs right into where the original plug was, so very easy to get this switched out on your own. You won't have to have anyone else do it for you, and it will complete your look on your CR-V, but also give you that safety and functionality again. So this mirror does have the power remote capability, so you can adjust the mirror face position with the factory power controls inside your vehicle.

This does also have the heated mirror glass, it's gonna help clear frost and ice and reduce fogging on the side. It is gonna have your amber light, and so, when you activate your turn signal that will flash for you. It does also have the blind spot detection in it, so the sensor will alert the driver if the vehicle is detecting or if there is a vehicle in your blind spot. Now, keep in mind the power remote capability, heated mirror glass, turn signal, and blind spot detection system are only going to work if your vehicle is already capable of doing that. It's not going to add that functionality to a vehicle that didn't have it already.

This mirror does not support the camera function, so if you do have that on your original mirror, you will have a little bit less functionality with this, but obviously still a lot of those same features carrying over for you. This does have the same OE grade quality component, so the front of the glass is plated with a reflective chrome, so you're gonna get a nice, clear image. It is a flat lens, like most of your driver side mirror, so you're gonna get a true representation of the object size as you're changing lanes or backing up, that sort of thing. So it's gonna be nice and safe for you. This mirror does have the breakaway design, so it's going to fold in on itself.

If you we're to run into the side of your garage, or bump into a parking post or something like that to help, it's gonna fold in to help absorb some of that impact and deter breakage, but it is a nice durable plastic housing with this smooth black finish that's gonna look really good on your vehicle, so if you are looking for a replacement for your driver side mirror, this is gonna do a really good job for you. This back portion here can also be painted to better match the rest of your vehicle, so again, you have that integrated look, in addition to the safety of having that mirror in place again. Now, for those of you who do need a little bit more reassurance that this is gonna work for your CR-V, this is going to replace the Original Equipment Number that you see on the screen there, so if you go through your owner's manual, you can see that number, or if you're pulling off the original, you see that number anywhere, you can trust this is gonna be exactly what you need, but this is just the driver side mirror. Hopefully you don't need driver side and passenger side, but if you do, we do have the passenger side available for you here at etrailer.com. You can find it using that part number that you see on the screen there. So that's gonna complete our look at this replacement driver side mirror for your CR-V. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching!.
