    NEW PRICE: $175 shipped. Somebody take it, it's a great deal!

    I have a very nice Gentex 453 autodimming mirror available. Includes Homelink, Compass, and Temp functions. Heading and temp are displayed in the upper right corner in a small square area. Wire cover and harness are included. It is a simple 10 minute install that only requires tapping into the map light connector wires. Instructions for wiring in a 2005-11 Tacoma may be provided if desired. $190 shipped in the USA.

    Price drop. This is now the best price on this mirror by a $30 margin. Somebody snap it up!

    I haven't seen any on ebay for $100 that offer compass, temp, and homelink. If you can get all of that for $100, I recommend snapping it up!

    Edit: I looked them up and see they are the older 313 series. The compass inside of those is inferior, as is the light sensor. Mine is the newer 453.

    So because it "looks pretty much the same" to you, you took it upon yourself to become the defender of mirror shoppers everywhere and spare them getting ripped off? It's too bad you didn't take time to become educated about the product before taking a big dump in my sale thread. I hope you take the time to research what you are talking about before you screw another seller. Now, all I have are PMs from people who want a cheaper price because they are confused by your worthless posts. I am sorry to sound so rude, as it is not in my nature, but you really ruined my chances of a sale. My price was and is fair, but now the buyers are having to sort through your misinformation. Thanks a lot.

    This does look like a pretty sweet deal! Is compass and temp verified to work in the 09-11 4cyl trucks? I tried to install an overhead console from a 09 TRD and couldn't get a temp reading and compass would not re-calibrate. A universal problem for 4cyl for reasons yet to be found...

    It should work in any vehicle. It just needs to be tapped into a ground, ACC power for the mirror, and constant power for Homelink. The temp probe would need to be located at the front of the truck. It has two wires that would be routed through the firewall and to the mirror. Temp probes are available on ebay, or I can include one that has two wire leads on it. The buyer would just need to add wire to each of the leads that is long enough to reach the mirror.

    If you cannot contribute to the sellers thread, move on. This isnt a place to call them out.

    Bump for an honest seller who accurately describes his items, has great communication via pm and text, has very fair pricing, packs the items thoroughly and ships quickly. :thumbsup:

    I purchased from him within the last two weeks and the transaction was very smooth!

    Good luck with the sale! :)

    I purchased an intermittent wiper control from this seller. Awesome person to work with, was willing to work with me and the wiper control was in excellent shapre. Items froms him will definitely get my attention! I was even thinking of this mirror, but Mrs. CFayne is telling me to control my spending on the truck. That made me a sad panda.

    Yes, it will work. All you need to do is tap into a ground, constant power, and switched power. Those should be available on every make and model vehicle. You will also need a temp probe as mentioned above.
