A member here did this not too long ago if I recall correctly...

Pretty tight if you can pull it off.

Old news. Vash and I both did this mod a while back.

I used a mirror from a mid 90s Cadillac STS.

It's a really nice mod though. Personally, I really like having the compass, and the ones that display the temperature are even nicer. It's a great little mod to modernize your interior.

[i want my cb9]

i imagine its fully adjustable correct?

[crazymikey]

Adjustable in what way? For your view adjustment? Yes, it's fully adjustable. You modify the GM mirror to fit your CB mounting bracket and it functions as normal.

I had the compass on my old GTP, and loved it. My 06 CTS-V doesn't have it (because it has that awful nav unit instead... barf...) and I really miss it!


The next thing someone needs to try is the mirror from the current CTS... I just rented a CTS4, and the thing has a backup camera IN the mirror! I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap, and probably not easy... but holy hell would that be cool.
Also, the newer mirrors with the OnStar control... they can be converted to be in-car bluetooth devices, so you can talk on your phone hands-free. I plan on doing that in my Cadillac.

This is the mirror with the backup camera. SO badass!

^^^^ I think someone has a an aftermarket version of this out. I think i may have seen it at Advanced Auto Parts. The quality of it may be questionable though.

I did the mod with a 99 suburban mirror with the temp I think it adds some class and style it wasn't to hard to wire up just the temp sensor was hard I have a DIY on it in that section if you want to see how I did it but it looks good anyways

Good job man !!!
