    Picked up a rear view mirror with all the bells & whistles (onstar etc). Unfortunately, my car only has a 3 wire plug and the mirror has a 10 wire plug or something like that.

    Anyone have a wiring diagram so I can make it work?

    Does anyone have a pic of that mirror mounted on the windshield? My car is missing the mirror and nothing is mounted to the windshield - I think I might be missing a part with the mirror I got?

    The autodimmer, and any accessory lights on the mirror should work when you find the power and ground leads.
    Onstar, a built in compass, good luck getting those to work properly.

    If your windshield is missing the metal clip for the mirror, then you will need to get a universal mirror kit from autozone, napa, etc.
    I would take the mirror to the store with you, to make sure it fits.

    For pictures;
    Google universal rear view mirror kit

    Thanks man, does anyone know where the control unit is used to drive the compass function?

    Will try a wrecker for the mirror base before trying a universal

    Hey did you get this figured out? I'm in the same wiring predicament minus the onstar and compass. I now have the accessory lights auto tint mirror but only have the 3 wire plug and need the 7 pin connector.

    Thanks.
