I have some more inventory, finally. These are used GM factory Gentex self dimming mirrors. Includes wiring and compass calibration instructions. As always, price includes shipping to the lower 48 US.

compass with temp are sold out. Self dim with just compass....$20 shipped to your door anywhere in the lower 48 USA

A: sold out

B: sold out

C: Gentex self dimming with compass only: I have 5 of these available: 20 shipped


First one to buy two can have this "vintage" metal Pontiac license tag. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but its solid.

Let me be the first to jump in and recommend these.
I've got one and love it!
Mike is also an excellent person to deal with. You could do a lot worse, for a lot more money.

A- you have to toggle between temp and comp on the display, it only displays one at any given time
B- displays both temp and compass at the same time.

So far, both A units are spoken for, pending payment.

How hard is it to put in?

Any parts that dont come with the mirror that need to be bought in excess?

Also do you have any more that have the comp and temp still?

They're very easy to put in. They mount to the stock windsheild button- remove stock mirror with a torx 15 and slide on the new mirror. Wiring is straight forward, you will need to wire a ground and a 12v switched- I ususually run off the radio fuse on the fuse block. Wiring the temp probe consists of just matching the temp probe wires to the wires on the mirror harness. All this is outlined in the instructions that I send with the mirror.

I have 1 comp/ temp unit left, item B in the first post.

I send everything that you will need to install. Except that you will need to supply your own wire to extend the harness out to your ground and power.

The temp sensors work on a varying resistance. So do the engine temp sensors.
1. The calibration would have to be the same. i.e., Both would have to be the same resistance at the same temperature.
2. I'm not sure the range of the display will go that high. (I know they will do 100+, however. Pretty sure they won't go over 199.)

Not really a definitive answer, but maybe that will help.
