Compass/Temp Rear View Mirror
I used to have a 2000 Silverado before I got my 2002 Z28. In my truck I had the compass/temp rear view. I want that in my Z, now I know I can find one on ebay but <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> they dont come with the wiring, temp sensor, etc. I am needing some assistance on where to look for the wiring, temp sensor, etc, and how do install it all, diagrams, web pages. Thanks for any help guys. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Not hard to install at all but because I didn't want to cut or splice my original wires I had to search around for two extra pins to fit the factory harness. Would never go back to stock.

Or you can try here: Gentex Corporation This is the company that manufactures these type of mirrors for all the different car makers.
I bought my mirror w/AutoDim, Compass,Temp from a salvage yard for $15 and then purchased the temp probe new. This particular salvage yard allows me to walk thru on my own to look for parts - these mirrors are/were in GM, Chrysler cars that I know of - I just searched thru cars till I found correct one. I'm pretty sure they didn't know what kind of mirror it was - hence the $15 price <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Wiring the unit into existing vehicle wiring for stock mirror is easy - only thing to consider - the units w/AutoDim & compass or Temp do NOT come with integral map lights - so if you have a TA you will lose the map lights that usually come on with open door that are in the stock mirror. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
