## Description

Automatic Dimming Mirror Gentex Corporation is the world's leading manufacturer of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors. Gentex automatic dimming mirrors are based on the science of electrochromics, which is the process of reversibly darkening materials by applying electricity. During nighttime driving, the mirrors use a combination of sophisticated sensors and electronic circuitry to detect glare from rearward approaching vehicles and darken accordingly to eliminate the glare and preserve driver vision. They are popular, active crash-avoidance safety feature making nightime driving safer for vehicles throughout the world. PathPoint Compass System The mirror's compass and outside temperature displays are features of the PathPoint Compass System developed by Johnson Controls, a Johnson Controls Company. The compass is a self-calibrating flux gate compass that eliminates manual calibration by the factory, dealer or customer. It detects and compensates for magnetic anomalies caused by bridges, subways and large steel structures. It also compensates for actual changes in vehicle magnetics. Calibration data is stored in memory, which eliminates any requirement for recalibration after losing battery power. The electronic compass shows the direction you are heading in an easy to read digital display located above the mirror. The compass is an extremely accurate computer that displays vehicle headings of N, NW, W, SW, S, SE, E and NE. Outside Temperature Display The outside temperature display provides you with a digital temperature reading. When the temperature is at or below 37 degrees the display will indicate "ICE" for a period of one minute. This feature cautions you to anticipate road-icing conditions. This is a complete kit that includes the mirror, wiring harness, temperature sensor and complete installation and operating instructions.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it until…..
*by R***T on May 18, 2025*

Worked terrific until my F150 got totaled. Looks like a factory unit

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OE mirror, OE quality
*by R***N on May 1, 2024*

My vehicle is a 02 Tahoe that I have owned since new and the factory mirror temp/compass display would not work at times without a "slight" tap on the side of the mirror. If the factory mirror was available it is expensive so I tried a used one I ordered from Ebay, (the local pick and pull is over 40 miles away, Ebay was easier). Everything seemed okay when I installed it during the winter but when summer came the compass / temp display was almost impossible to read it was so washed out. Since it was past the return time and I knew that this mirror is from the oe supplier, I decided to fix this once and for all. Installed the mirror, plugged in the 7-way connector and everything powered up correctly. Calibrated the compass and set the location and I was done.If you need a wiring diagram, search out the reviews, some have pictures of the terminal locations and wiring colors. If you need more, search out a vehicle like my Tahoe for diagnosis and install.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ OEM quality with a universal fitting kit
*by L***T on February 27, 2023*

Nice fit and finish. Same as OEM supplied part for many vehicles. Install is UNIVERSAL, so it fits as well as you make it fit. The wires are a plasticy, but tough. It comes with everything you need for a basic install. No instructions for placement of the temp probe pins in the connector, but it's pretty easy to figure out (pins go in the far opposite side of the connector either way). The compass works perfect after selecting a zone, and driving in a slow circle. The temperature seems accurate, but placement anywhere near the engine bay will throw the reading off. I had to move the probe inside the front fender for better accuracy, but now it reads true. Overall, it is a good kit for the price. Just a warning: The average DIYer may have trouble with a clean installation. This kit requires a lot of trim removal to get wiring above the headliner, and the temp probe will probably need to go through the firewall. Definitely recommended if you have a moderate skill level.
