I dont know the wiring on these, but Ive made some guesses. can anyone correct or confirm? I want to wire it up today and see that it all works

 

Wiring on stock mirror

 

pink = ? (+)

black = ? (-)

yellow = ?

 

 

Compass mirror

 

pink = ? (+)

black = ? (-)

green = ? (reverse switch)

i think im going to run the reverse switch feature to my button on my aurora shift knob :wink:

well, i mostly wanted it for the compass, was never really thriilled about auto dimming, but then again ive never had one that does that, either. i just dont ever use the switch on the old mirror. now i can have a compass with or without autodimming

on the stock mirror

 

pink = + always hot

black = - ground

yellow = + hot with door open/int. lights on

 

I haven't been in too many cars with auto dim mirrors but I've never really been crazy about them. If I were to get a mirror with a compass/temp though, I'd have to have map lights.

What is the compass mirror out of? I just grabbed one out of an Olds LSS that I want to put in my vert.

ok, so I have the black wired to the ground by the stereo, and the red wired into the remote 12v (same as amp turn on) and its not coming on. I tried it also on the constant 12v, and still nothing. is it wired wrong somehow, or did I get a bad one?

hmm. is your ground good? We powered it up of a battery at the j/y I think.

 

I think it was a late 90's olds 98. i got the radio from the same car. iirc

 

 

I got one from a 97+park avenue too, and from an aurora. yeah I need more.

Compass Calibration Description

Before calibrating the compass, drive the vehicle to a area that is magnetically clean (free of large metallic objects).

 

Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Simultaneously depress and hold both map lamp buttons until a "C" is displayed (approximately 10 seconds).

Release both buttons.

Drive the vehicle in circles at a speed of less than 5 MPH (8 km/h) until the "C" is replaced by a proper vehicle heading. The calibration procedure is now complete.
