CMCVette Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I'm curious about the optional electrochromatic mirror Ford offers that includes a compass & I think outside temp ; has anyone had one of these installed by the dealer, & if so, any problems with install? Happy with it? And to those of you who've had your windows tinted, does this adversely affect the functioning of the mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have and love it!! Did you install it yourself? Does the wiring harness have a connection for the temp. sensor, and where is it mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLu Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm curious about the optional electrochromatic mirror Ford offers that includes a compass & I think outside temp ; has anyone had one of these installed by the dealer, & if so, any problems with install? Happy with it? And to those of you who've had your windows tinted, does this adversely affect the functioning of the mirror? I have it. Two "homeLink" buttons (one for each garage door), compass (which I really need) and OAT (which I like to watch in my climate. Ordered the parts via my dealership PD for 275.00, came back for a professional dealer install. Yes, it is complicated if you want it done right, and that OEM factory look. I also added turn signal mirrors at the same time, from Bule Oval Industries, 169.00 back then. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06-07-08...13614QQtcZphoto Since my '07 SGT is black, no painting was necessary. Dealer was able to charge off 85.00 labor under a warranty claim, since my factory mirror was "blemished when it fell off". Then I covered the wrench's install time "hand to hand", and with a tip for his excellent and OEM install. Add 300 bucks. Yes, I feel it all was worth it. The mirror is a comfort and conveinence option for me, the turn signal mirrors are a safety issue, IMHO. Nothing is free or cheap, but it can be cheaper than ordering these options at the point of purchase. Y'all be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
809 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have it on my 04 Cobra. I installed it myself, it's very easy to install and it looks factory installed. Never had any problems with it and whenever someone is passenger in my car and sees what I have, they always want one installed on their Mustang. The first time you are driving at night and an 18-wheeler is behind you, you'll be happy you got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
