Rear view mirror with compass! - Page 6 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

HAWAIIZR-1 · 12-26-2012

Hey folks,

Just another plug for Andrew's Compass Mirror deal.

This thing is awesome and I had a chance to driving around it with a few days ago and then evening too. The compass with be of much more use to me when I leave Japan, but the auto dimming, courtesy light and map lights are awesome and such a huge upgrade over the stock mirror in my opinion. The Carter adapter bracket works very well the install is solid and so easy; everything works so well like it was meant to. I love the orange courtesy and the map lights came in really handy (I won't mention for what) and I love how the buttons work on it. Anyway, just want to say I love this mod and can see much better for some reason out the back too. Maybe it is slightly larger or just brand new glass over 20 year old mirror, but it rocks and I highly recommend it.

Figured I'd bump this thread in case anyone new hasn't seen it.

I also can now make the same mirror with an outside temperature readout as well, great for the guys with manual AC without the temperature display in the dash!

VetteMed,

is it the Same mirror but just the temp in the upper corner?

Same cost?

Jeff,
Unfortunately the process to assemble this mirror is much more difficult (lots more wiring) and expensive ( I have to use 2 mirrors to make 1 mirror, sacrificing one of them for parts).

I am trying to get the temp/compass mirror kit out the door for $100 more than the standard compass-only unit. That will include the temperature sensor for up near the radiator shroud, and the wiring connector for the sensor. That would mean a total cost of $299 plus $15 for shipping.

it's got a dual display, compass on top, temperature under it, like this:

Any future orders will ship with an improved mounting screw, utilizing a lockwasher and dry-lock threadlocking compound. Any current users having issues with their mounting screw loosening, can receive an updated screw free, just PM me with your address.

Also, the dual-display temperature / compass mirror is a "go". I've got one fully operational mounted in my Trans Am. Pricing will be $299 plus shipping for the dual-display mirror, which includes the temperature sensor and connector plug.
