And its 73 degrees somewhere? Or 73 degrees south by southwest?




I am thinking Toasty has cracked the HUD display or DIC to show those states.........right??? Or was this from your failed overhead DIC project?


my overhead DIC project didnt fail! ... i went in a different direction, knowing that it likely would not have full function in my 97... the compass/temp would have worked no problem, but if it didnt fully work, i didnt want to do it.

Sorry didn't mean to put it as a "failure," I should have said something different. My apologies again.

So you all your information displaying in DIC now, the Temp and Compass on top of everything else? Or did you fab up a secound LED screen to make those work?

--- yer confused! the picture i posted is in a replacement rear-view mirror... just with changed display color --- though it would be awesome to put the display in the DIC... hadnt thought of that, nor how hard it would be.

how-to?

remove old mirror.
install new mirror.
run wires for power, ground, and temp sensor.
locate temp sensor up front behind bumper.

voila!

Really, I take it then, that this mirror is from a different model? I thought you somehow had pulled the OEM mirror and change the led colors or something.

it's an oe gm mirror, typically oe blueish/green color -- the seller opens it and changes the color, but not sure how the color is changed... It's not really just led backlighting, though. not sure how it's done, and not sure i am going to take this one apart to find out :P

my oem GTP mirror doesnt have temp/compass.... yours does?

Yes sir, it has both. Full onstar, temp & compass. Though I never activated the OnStar.
