Rear view mirrors

[SDGTP99]

I'm looking to get a new rear view mirror to replace mine. It got to hot one day and all the auto dim liquid leaked. I'm curious if I can use one of the nicer rear view mirrors w/ the compass, temp readout, onstar and auto dim or if the plug ends are different and it won't fit. I notice these mirrors are way cheaper on evilbay thab the basic auto dim that I have. Idc about the onstar. I know that won't work. I'd just like to have the compass and temp readout with my auto dim. If it can't fit I guess I'll just get the basic auto dim mirror.

You can..you might need to swap connectors though.

I think I actually have the mirror you are looking for sitting on my shelf.

Really? I'd be interested in taking off your shelf for you ^_-

So to use it I hafta switch out the power cord in my car for that one?

Or connect the two somehow. I'm the kinda guy who cuts and solders.
