Aftermarket rearview mirror for Vert

[Drive XR7]

Has anyone installed an aftermarket mirror on a convertible? There's power to the mirror already, am hoping an aftermarket mirror with compass/temp/dimming and map lights is available and someone has tried it.

Your only problem will be to hide the wires up the A pillar and across the windshield frame. You might consider removing the windshield and burying the wires that way, drill a hole above the mirror to bring the wires down?

Not a vert but I added a rear view mirror out of a Saturn Vue to my GT like 10 years ago. It has compass/temp/auto dimming. Had to bring power up to that area as well as installing a little temp sensor, in the grille area, and running the two wires to that. The sensor was out of a 00-05 Impala.

Hiding a cable in the A-Pillar and Windshield trim is easy on a convertible. This is already a powered cable there from factory to power the map lights that are mounted on the mirrors. Mind you - those are the only factory interior lights in the car - so the criteria for another mirror should include having map lights built into it.

Any known mirrors that will work?

You have a compass and temp on your phone. I say leave the original mirror so someone doesn’t have to undo it later.

Check the Gentex mirrors on eBay. I found one for $9 and it works beautifully. Same mirrors used in factory cars, such as Altimas, etc.
