This complete kit includes everything needed for installation, making it a must-have for modern drivers. ## 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. Review: It is an excellent product. Have purchased it for my previous vehicles as well. Review: I actually enjoyed installing this mirror! I installed it in under 2 hrs thanks to the well written and descriptive instructions. Very professional wiring harness and connections. Wiring loom included. I provided a couple zip ties to keep the installation tidy. They really did a great job with the entire mirror. All I had to do was identify the switched ignition wire on my 1993 GMC truck. Everything was high quality and well done. They made it so simple to install. I love it! The sensor probe came with OEM-looking pinch clip style mounting hardware. I installed it exactly where they recommended on the backside of my grille facing forward into the fresh air. This will no doubt give me accurate temperature readings. The mirror looks identical to the mirrors in the newer vehicles. I bought the auto dimming mirror with the compass and temperature. No homelink or Onstar for me, thank you very much. I didn't even bother to take the time to calibrate the compass. The mirror calibrated itself on my way to work the next day. The glass has a larger viewing area than the 1993 stocker. I can see clearly. Be aware that objects are just slightly closer than they appear. I prefer to have a wider field of view rather than the exact distance 1:1 from objects behind me. I tested the auto dimming function using a flashlight and it works great. Darkens quickly and lightens back up just as fast. I don't have a reason to be out driving at night, but I'm sure it would be easier on my old eyeballs seeing how dark it does go when bright light is detected. Highly recommend! ## Features - Make nightime driving safer with auto-dimming - PathPoint compass system - Outside temperature display - Complete kit includes mirror, temperature sensor, wire harness ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0083AEVYA | | Auto Part Position | Outside | | Best Sellers Rank | #102,320 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #304 in Mirrors | | Brand Name | Gentex | | Color | Black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (213) | | Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Included Components | Mirror, Wire Harness, Temperature Sensor | | Item Dimensions | 26.7 x 3.8 x 8.9 centimeters | | Lens Curvature Description | Convex | | Manufacturer | Gentex | | Manufacturer Part Number | GENK20A | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | GENK20A | | Mounting Type | Windshield Mount | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Auto-Dimming, Compass System, Outside Temperature Display | | Shape | Rectangular | | Size | large | | UPC | 718196965316 718196965415 718196965439 826003000003 | ## Product Details - **Auto part position:** Outside - **Brand:** Gentex - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 26.7 x 3.8 x 8.9 centimeters - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Vehicle service type:** Car ## Images ![Gentex GENK20A Auto Dimming Mirror W/compass Temperature - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fHXnF-HCL.jpg) ![Gentex GENK20A Auto Dimming Mirror W/compass Temperature - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WXB7Wdh-L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is temp reading switchable between F and C?** A: Yes, the temperature reading can be easily changed between F and C by pressing the button on the front of the mirror.American Security Company **Q: Will your wire cover fit to conceal the wire coming out of the mirror?** A: A wire cover may be purchased separately.

Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***N on 1 May 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gentex GENK20A Auto Dimming Mirror W/compass Temperature - Brandmotion 5000-VSMA Windshield Mirror Plastic Wire Cover, Black - Dorman 76864 Rear View Mirror Bracket Assortment, 3 Pack Universal Fit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/255223222-gentex-genk20a-auto-dimming-mirror-w-compass-temperature](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/255223222-gentex-genk20a-auto-dimming-mirror-w-compass-temperature) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
