All i had to do is run two wires, a 12+ and a ground, and get a window button mount so that i could mount it to the window (stock mirror uses a roof mount.). The rest gets done automatically, the little display even dims itself when it gets dark outside.

Cool, I've been looking for one of these for a while now. Does it install to the bracket the factory mirror uses, or does it stick on the windshield?

i had to mount it to the window.

 

where did you get it from? what kind of car did it come off of?

 

it seems to be a GM part.

how does the compass know which way your car is facing?? After all, the mirror isn't facing straight forward.

 

the sensor is located on the mouting part that connects to the mount on the glass.

 

very nice....!

 

AHHHH! SWEEET!!!

 

so is there still a plastic piece sticking out where the old mirror used to attach to? maybe some more close up pics?

 

how did you do ur windows conrolers blue plz let me know ..
thank you

 

Here are some day pictures.


You can see where i mounted the mirror to the glass in the first picture. Also you can see that I had to use a screw to keep the trim piece on, it used to attach to mirror roof mount. And I also ran the wires trough the opening in the trim piece. It looks very nice and clean.

as for the blue window switches, i just replaced the green led's with blue.

How did you wire it up?

 

did you find it for less than $149.99? Because i've wanted one for a long time, but it seems impossible to find them for less.

 

it was a two wire install, all you need is a 12+(Sig. Lighter) and a ground. I ran it across the headliner, down the A-pillar and behind the dash. And i got it for 59.99 from ebay and the guy even included the mounting button for the glass. If you scroll up I have the ebay link there, the guy might have more.

 

Do they make any of these that will go into the factory spot? If so, where would I get one?

Cool I got one of them except mine also shows the temperature....I can switch between compass and temp. I got mine on e-bay for from I remember $182.00 but that's because it has the temp. reading...cool mod in my opinion )))))

 

Thats a cool mod..I love it...Should be cool to see it in person...

 

I did not find any that mount to the factory spot, maybe the i30's that came with it a dimming mirror.

As for the temp, i retrofitted my climate control to read the temp so i didn’t need the mirror to do that.

And yes it looks great in person, and when you get your a$$ over here to help me put in my spring you will get to see.

 

Nice jod, just when you think theres nothing more you can do to the max.
something like this just makes you think.

 

thats why i love this car, there is always something to do.

 

let me bump this up so some other folks can see. since i have been getting alot of questions latelly, this should explain alot of them.

 

that is real nice, good price too
