Default installing the autodim mirror

hey everyone,

im hopefully getting a auto dim mirror with compass for the 2001, mainly cause my flimsy cheap SE one GM installed finally stopped holding itself up, i dont get it.

Anyway where do i get power from to power this thing. I saw a post, but all the pictures are gone. If i have to get to the roof power, whats involved? I know i need to find retained accessory power..on and on. I just dont know where to look and how to get to it.

Lets hope i dont screw this one up
thanks everyone

Getting power is easy. Slide your sunroof open, look down through the headliner to the top of the overhead consol and use a flathead to push in the clips holding it up, and just tap into there.
let us know how it turns out. I might be interested in donig the same thing
