Greetings--

I'd like to upgrade my mirror to a compass/temp unit (auto-dim too perhaps but not critical). Is Gentex the way to go or should I shop around some junkyards?

Do any detailed instructions exist for installation? I'm not afraid to try it if I've got instructions for it regarding wiring, etc.

Would this work?

I like this one a lot as well...

Thank you.

talk to billboost37
he found mine for me. it works awesome. but defiently do your Homework before you install. fuses like to blow when wires touch that shouldnt.

Gentex is the same manufacturer that makes them for the auto makers. It'* a good brand. And if interested..I do have a couple of the autodim compass around.

Temperature sensor on any of yours Bill? I figure I'd go all out and get a compass/temp unit if I'm going to do it.

No.. only compass.

My truck has both..it'* nice. Be prepared to run a wire out of the cabin to the front of the car for the sensor.

I was thinking of using an 'Add-A-Circuit' for power. Find a keyed ignition source on the fuse block.

Beyond power, am I just looking at running a ground and then the temp. sensor through the firewall to somewhere in front of the engine?

Thanks.

If you don't have a sunroof..you'll have power close by. I forget if Toasty used a sunroof connector or something from the overhead cubby

I don't have a sunroof. I want to find power that'* only on with the ignition, correct? If I used power from the accessory outlet in the overhead cubby, wouldn't the mirror always be powered up? Thanks for your help.
