Auto dimming/compass mirror update
 

Our dealer ordered the auto dimming mirror which is an available option not on our new P5 when we bought it. Install was quoted at 9/10 hr. After waiting approx 45 min. tech. said it'd be approx. 3 hrs. + It seems there are no provisions on the stock wiring harness to add the mirror. They would have to route a wire through a gromet in the firewall, route the temp. sensor up to the front bumper, drop the headliner and run the wires down the "A" pillar to the fuse box etc. I wasn't crazy about the mirror after looking at it anyway. I thought it'd be like the GM mirrors that have a green display in the mirror itself. This had the display along the bottom edge of the the mirror. I've never seen the mirror on a P5, but the idea sounded good! Has anyone done their own install?:confused: We decided to cancel the install. and give it some thought. Someone on Ebay has an auto dimming mirror by Gentex with LED map light, and the temp/direction display in green in the mirror portion. It's around $240.00, perhaps more later.

Man those techs are just lazy. But I'm getting one for Christmas I believe. I don't mind how it looks but would rather have one of those consoles on the ceiling instead of having the compass/temp on the mirror itself. I was looking at the system on the Grand Cherokee and you can change all kinds of shit with it. Every car should have that.
