iom Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Has anyone replaced the interior rear view self-dimming mirror with one that has a built-in compass display? Please tell me where you got it and how it was installed. BTW the dealer quoted me $1200 for a new one!!!!!! I have a 2003 SC430 with 65K miles and would like a mirror with a compass in place of the OEM mirror but not at that price! Replies to iomsc430@gmail.com would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveinTX Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I posted a thread a couple months ago about how to tighten/remove the rear view mirror, it's a piece of cake once you understand how it comes off, takes about 30 sec. If you can find the mirror you want, I would think it would just be a simple swap. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanuke Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Im not sure, but I think the key reciever is in the mirror. So be carefull swapping out the mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iom Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 I couldn't find a replacement for the OEM mirror, so I got a stick-on digital compass for my windshield that even has a night light! Problem solved. iom :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC6529 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 There is one thing about the Original mirror you need to know. The Auto-Dimming button on the mirror (which cuts down headlight reflections in the mirror at night) also activates the auto-dimming on the rear view mirrors on the doors....
