***Willing to trade for clean vintage vinyl records!!

If you would like a self dimming only (no temp or compass) let me know. I get those on an individual basis.

The are used factory GM Gentex self dimming rear view mirrors. Factory harness and temp sensor if the mirror has temp function. All prices include free shipping in the lower 48 US. These mirrors are easy to wire up: 12v switched power and a ground. Compass calibration and wiring instructions included as well. Below is what I have available:

a1) GM Self Dimming with COMPASS: I have 4 of these. $30 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48 US.


a2) sold

b) sold

c) sold

d) sold

e) sold

Thanks,
Mike

Would you happen to have a complete harness for the gentex with temp, compass and auto-dim? I just need the harness. I can verify the pinout count when I get home tonight if needed.

I might have one hanging around. I'll PM you if I find one. It should be a 7 pin harness- let me know if otherwise.

I will let you know if I get more in. They are not as common, and go very quick when I do get them.

I have updated the remaining units in the first post.

Thanks Mike!
If you happen across one with compass, temp and homelink, I'm all over it!
But just the compass and the temp will do nicely.

Its a 7 pin connector. 1-3 used for compass and self dim, 4-5 for outside dim mirrors, 6-7 used for temp (if equipped).

http://www.homelink.com/home/welcome

This link will explain what Homelink is- it comes factory in a lot of newer cars. It allows you to control your garage door, front gate, security system, etc. with the buttons on the mirror- doing away with garage door openers, etc. This homelink mirror will take some internet investigating on how to wire it up (power and ground)- I have not had a chance to look into it yet. I have a Homelink overhead console wired up in my roadmaster- its pretty simple if your a do it your selfer- and if you own a Fiero, you should be already

The Homelink mirror does not have compass or temp, just the self dim.

The compass mirrors require no additional wire besides the mirrors self dimming 12v switched power and ground wires. The temp function (if equipped) require running 2 wires from the mirror unit to where ever you decide to mount your temp sensor.

Is mirror "D" still available for $25? How much is USPS shipping to Canada postal code R2N4B9
Can it be wired into the overhead courtesy light for the compass to work?
Thanks!

I installed a Homelink mirror with compass in my Challenger.
It adds an unswitched 12 volts to the mix, so that the Homelink section can stay "hot" with the key off.

I can get the pinouts if needed.

25 + 10 will get it to Canada. The mirror will need to be wired to a 12v switched source or else it will stay on and may drain your battery. I run a wire under the front edge of the headliner, down the a pillar trim, and run it to the radio fuse on the fuse block.

Here's mine.
I've been looking for something like this, at a reasonable price, for years.
(Please ignore the disaster that is my garage. I'm in the middle of at least two projects. If I clean up I won't be able to find anything.)


I should add that I had an issue that turned out to be a DFO problem (operator error on my part )
Mike was totally supportive and went out of his way to make sure that all was good.

If you're on the fence... buy one of these!
