Andrew you can add me to the list. Perhaps two? Have one c-4 with a dodgy rear mirror.

I'm curious on what the adapter looks like.

I've done this mod on my 89 (Dimming, Compass and Homelink). But glue a button to the windshield.

Also the three wires on the rear view mirror:
(hot - all the time)
(hot - when the door is opened)
(ground)
I ran a wire to a ignition switch source. So my mirror will turn off by itself.

I'm guess the compass has a switch?
I like the orange LEDs

The later C4 courtesy lights (door open) are triggered by a switched ground, not a switched power. 5 wire harness - constant power, switched power, ground, switched ground, dash illumination.

There's a switch on the front of the mirror housing (the right switch with the "N" and an arrow). This toggles the compass display on and off. the other button toggles the auto dim on and off.

OK, guys I appologize for taking so long. Was not aware there was this thread going on and have been busy on other peoples stuff with the occasional look at Andrews idea and ponder.
Well, for all you chomping at the bit I have officially started on the adapter today and have it disected, programmed and the test one half way finished. Hope to be done tomorrow if doo doo does not happen.
Hang in there just a wee bit longer it'll be worth it

OK folks, after discussing production costs with Carter, and in light of the apparent scarcity of the source mirror (I've had a lot of trouble getting a hold of very many at a reasonable cost), I've got to price the mirror and adapter combination at $199, which will include USPS priority mail shipping in the lower 48.

I am going to open up pre-orders at this point. Paypal can be sent to agchoset@gmail.com, and as soon as the adapters are finished and sent to me, mirrors will start to ship. For a $5 discount, you can send a check or money order, PM me for mailing address.

And here's the excellent adapters that Carter machined up for me! Really nice workmanship on these pieces!







Anyone who pre-ordered, your kit will be shipping within a few days.

Thanks!
