outside temp display on rear view mirror

Post by gscherer78ta » Fri Nov 15, 2013 1:51 pm

I did a search and didn't come up with an answer so, please point the direction if this has been discussed before. Has someone installed a rear view mirror that has the interior lights and a outside temp reading? My '99 Tahoe rear view mirror has a compass and outside temp display on it and I am missing the outside temp. Just wondering if someone else has done this before and point the way to a "how to".

Thanks!

Go to LS1Tech.com & research it.
Yes, it's been done, but not discussed on here as far as I know.

That same mirror that you have in the Tahoe, ..., find one on Ebay & install it.

For example;

Thanks! I did a google search and found the links to LS1tech. The only issue with the mirror from the Tahoe is that they don't have the courtesy lights.

Yes, I've done it. It was a couple of years ago but I'll try to find my original source. I bought it new from the OEM suppliers of these mirrors. It is almost identical to the one in my Avalanche and it does have 2 map lights.

EDIT: Okay I found it. Go here http://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com and search for Gentex Auto-Dimming Rear View Mirrors. Select the options you need. Identical to mirrors in most GM vehicles.

EDIT AGAIN: Here's one I have. Part #: 36500/36500WIRE
'01 Bright Red w/Black #C04 M6 Convertible
All GM Options, All SLP Options (Bilstein)
