Auto-dimming Mirror Install
Hi all,
I just took delivery on a 06 GT Vert 5-manual about two weeks ago. Has anyone installed an auto-dimming mirror on their Mustang? I'm looking to do the install myself but would like to get some feed back before I dive in. Specifically I'm interested in the install of the Gentex mirror with compass and temp. Any advise would be helpful though.
Thanks

RE: Auto-dimming Mirror Install
I helped my dad install th auto-dim/homelink/compass/thermometer mirror on his 06 mustang gt. we purchased the mirror through our for dealer and it is a for genuine accessorie. we have th instructions to install the mirror still if you'ld like them. the mirror is made by gentex for ford. it has an 8 position plug that goes into the mirror and only four wires are coming out of it. let me know if you have something similar. one thing was that the direction said to go down the drivers side a pillar when the fuse box is on the passenger side. go down the passenger side a pillar to get power to the mirror. Does yours have a thermometer function? If you have any other questions let me know. i can email those instructions to you if you need them.

When I went to the Ford dealer to find out about the optional mirror they offer with the same features mentioned, the parts manger said it wasn't available for a convertible. I figured because the wiring went through the headliner so I didn't think about it further. You may want to find out from the Ford service department because this guy may have been full of it.
