I havent looked at my car yet, but does this look right?

Image Sheet

 

Looks just like the one I bought last night, same seller as well.

 

Im wondering if the plug is the same as the Cobalt or is it the bigger 16 pin.

 

Damn so tempting!

 

I Know, im just wondering if pre 07's will work. i know 07+ seems to be different on our cars.

 

Im usually all in for anything that makes me cobalt nicer while making it less run of the mill. Not to mention I like some subtle details that a non cobalt person would notice.

This is one of those thiings!

 

I say go fot it, this mod took less than 1/2 hour to do. Well worth the time.

 

so you need the mirror and the plug/wires for it?

 

If the the mirror you get has a chunk of harness with it you're good to go. Just pull one of the wires plug it into #13 slot on your car's harness. Run the wire to the sunroof switch and your done.

I didn't do the reverse wire, I have a tinted back window so it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

 

Nice write up.

 

Only thing I can noticed different about this one you have linked (in post #26) is it does not have the map lights. If your current mirror doesn't have map lights or you don't mind losing them then this one is fine

 

The plug for the one you have linked (in post #26) is the bigger 16 pin connector. If your current mirror has OnStar, you should have the bigger 16 pin connector already. If you don't have OnStar, you will probably only have the 8-pin connector.

 

yeah i'd do the reverse wire, but i'd find it either off the fuse block or the reverse switch i'd think itd be more convenient than going all the way to the back up lights

I thought that mirror does have the map lights in it though?

I'll have to look i have onstar and i think your right i already have the 16 pin connector

 

i haz no onstar

 

You don't need onstar, I bought a mirror out of a 07 hhr it has auto dim, compass, and maplights with NO onstar. Just make sure you get the plug with some wire so you can extend it to where you need. Its a 16 pin plug and has 5 wires in it. I can tell you where to run them or look for my post in the electronics section.

 

^ Can you look at the back of the mirror and get me the Part number please?

 

Sorry, no gm part number that i see. Only thing on the back is GENTEX 025898 GNTX-511. Like I said this was out of a 07 hhr. Shouldn't be hard to find one in a junkyard or ebay. Got mine off ebay for like 35.00 shipped. Looks like 07 and up have smaller map lights but there led. 06 and older have the bigger standard map lights. There's a couple on ebay right now and I think one of them comes with the plug. here's one from an 06 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...Q5fAccessories and here's one out of an 07, its the one I used http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...Q5fAccessories

 

well i just bought this one

but if you have/want to keep your onstar, heres another

^ ok, what do i do for my factory Harness, i keep forgetting to look at it, does it use the same plug, just less wires?

 

yeah not sure why the one i bought was ~40 and the other one i posted was ~85 for the same part...so im hoping mine doesnt have too much "wear" since its used compared to the more expensive one or something, no idea why the price is so diff.

u have that for the onstar mirror by chance?

 

stock w/onstar vs. auto dim/compass w/onstar




Plug comparison only difference is the red and green wires

Stock
autodim/compass
these 3 wires are the same on both mirrors
this is just showing all the colors of the wires on the auto dim/compass

 

here is is broken down


i did this to see what kinna bulb was in it(i like my aftermarket leds better)






i got lucky and lkq sent the harness with the mirror, so i just pulled the leads out of that connector to put into the one already in my car so i dont have to buy any new ones
