Autodimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature

Post by Ragugoat »

This is my first post for a mod that I have done, but am quite happy how it turned out and was done in about half an hour, including time to take pictures! Not sure how to post pictures on here so I made it into a PDF. Let me know what you guys think.

Good idea grabbing one from a wrecked car. I want a compass in my car, I might have to do this one.

I got mine on E-bay. Hooked it up the same way. Mine does lose the readout for the compass when the sun roof is closed. The other thing was orienting the compass once I got it hooked up. Had to drive in a circle till it found its way. LOL You only need to do that once. The auto dimming is a big help at night.
