Question After-Market Rear View Mirror

Has anyone installed an after-market rearview mirror with compass and temp on their Cherokee?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Gentex 177 from a 97 Tahoe. Lots of info through Google search on what wire goes where, also a thread at NAXJA where a few of us have done it. In the picture forum.

I still have to wire mine in, once i get a chance..

What about a separate compass/temp gage? anyone know of something easy to install without having to buy a $200+ mirror?

Thanks!

Mine cost under $20 shipped... i did have to go to a upull and get the pigtails and temp sensor for another couple dollars.


Radio Shack and the like also have a temp readout that went for $20 or so. Compass you can pick up anywhere... boating supply store etc.
