Product Description

From the Manufacturer

CIPA-USA is pleased to introduce our new line of Auto Dimming interior rear view mirrors. Leading the way in next generation out products, these mirrors sense ambient light and glare from behind, and reduce annoying glare from bright lights. With built-in features such as a compass, temperature indicator, and map lights, you have the option of customizing your mirror to containing only the features you need. Also available in camlock mount for imports.

Product Description

CIPA's Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature provides the perfect solution to annoying headlight glare at night. Sensors indicate when bright lights are used and dim the mirror glass for comfort and safety. The Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror also offers a disable button for when dimming is unwanted. Additional features include a digital compass and temperature readout. The compass features a bright LED display, and is self-calibrating. The temperature feature displays outside ambient temperature, and can be programmed to display in Fahrenheit or Celsius. First time installations will require routing a power and sensor wire. Vehicles with an existing auto dimming mirror and a 7 pin connector can plug directly in with no fuss. Otherwise, the wires can be tapped using the wire tap provided. Mirror is 10 inches long by 2.5 inches tall, and is a wedge base mounting mirror. This kit includes a mirror, 6.5 ft power wire harness, wire tap, 9 wire ties, temperature sensor, 14 ft temperature sensor wire harness, operation card, wedge button, and an installation guide. Mirror mounting epoxy is not included. Hint: a camlock mount mirror is commonly found on imported vehicles and is removed by turning the mirror 90 degrees, so it is perpendicular to the dash, then pulling down on the mirror. A wedge mount mirror is commonly found on domestic vehicles and is removed by loosening a small screw or clip and pushing the mirror up toward the roof. Made in the USA and FMVSS approved under section 571.111 of Standard No. 111. Note: We do not recommend installing these mirrors if your vehicle has airbag sensors in the headliner, if your vehicle is equipped with OnStar, or if your vehicle is a hybrid model. Installation of this mirror may disable or damage certain components which are critical to the safety features installed on your vehicle. Check with your vehicle manufacturer for more information.

This review is from: CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature (Automotive)

I have had the CIPA 36400 auto dimming mirror installed in my car for over a month and have had no problems. The installation was as described in the manual and took about 1 1/2hrs. The dimming feature works great. The temperature and compass is easy to read in the daytime, and dims nicely at night. I would recommend this mirror.

This review is from: CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature (Automotive)

I installed this in my Honda Fit which has no outside temperature gauge. Temperature and compass are accurate and easy to read. In the engine compartment there is a cover over the temp sensor wires, a sort of flexible plastic conduit that is nice. There is no hard plastic cover over the wire between the mirror and headliner, but the conduit covered cables don't look really bad. The mirror dims/undims extremely quickly. It comes with a nice quick disconnect for the power connection at an included inline connector that attaches with pliers.

I think this should have included a hard cover over the cable between the mirror and headliner. Otherwise, it is perfect.

This review is from: CIPA 36400 Wedge Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror with Compass and Temperature (Automotive)

This mirror exceeded my expectations. It came with quality installation accouterments. Installation instructions were well written, easy to follow and complete. Installation was straightforward and relatively easy.

The mirror just plain works. It is very dark and darkens instantly. The outside temperature and compass are accurate and easy to read without being instrusively large or overly bright at night.
