| Cipa 36500 Auto dimming mirror |

| Critterman:
Anyone looked at this mirror as a replacement? I think it will only work in the 06 as it doesn't have onstar. It is auto-dimming and has outside temp and a compass located in the housing below the mirrow. Don't know how well it will mate to our existing plug. And finally I think we need a wedge mirror not a cam, correct? Thanks in advance for all your answers to my questions. |

So If a person doesnt have onstar would it work also? |
| Carbon Sky:
From what I can tell, if you don't get it with thermometer, it's only 2 wires, power and ground. If you have the thermometer, it's just one more plug. So yah, wouldn't matter if you had OnStar or not. |

What about the map lights on it, can they be rigged to work like ours, map lights and door lights? |
| Carbon Sky:
I know that they will function as normal map lights. But I do not know if they will be able to function as door lights as well because that system is fed by the BCM. And from what I've read, the BCM controls the ground. It never fully opens the circuit, and controls the dimming as well. I'm not sure if this dimming effect coming from the BCM would cause problems. I know that the Cipa and the Gentex can tap a signal to turn on the door lights on some models. But I think it may be a better idea to tap that door open signal from somewhere else that would be a clean on/off signal as opposed to the variable one from the BCM. An easy alternative could be the door switch itself. Just tap it in either foot well from either door. |
