Well, if its useless, I might as well yank it all out. What does all that weigh? LOL. I might get a 50/50 balance yet, LOL.
I was initially thinking how in hades is a 2001 system analog, surely its digital. But then it dawns on me, that was 7 years ago.
02-13-2008
even some of the digital/analog systems in 03-04 vehicles are dead too.
but yeah, you could probably just pick up a compass/temp mirror off ebay without the onstar and swap it out. --- should be similar to late 90's gm trucks.

Cool, I may have to do that. Thanks for the heads up on that.
02-13-2008
...unless the gp's from around your year that didnt have onstar still had the compass/temp in the mirror....

I think there was an option for just the compass and temp. I'll check on it, but it wont hurt my feelings any if I hit the onstar button and get a busy signal or something.

--- well i got the mirror in today....
you KNOW i had to disassemble and see how it was done----- Red spotlight gel covering the display!

awww thats so sweet of you to say
hehehe

Yeah, I guess I could have found several other ways to word that, in text alone it doesnt exactly convey that which I intended.
02-16-2008
I'm telling everyone.
02-16-2008
I will hunt you down.
02-16-2008
I will be lost so you cant find me

I will be lost so you cant find me
if you had a compas in your mirror, it woud help you not be lost

You dont know her very well then. She could have OnStars turn-by-turn directions just to get down the street and she could very well still end up in the next state.
02-16-2008
well depending on where she lives, that could happen. i mean, if you live on a state border, that woudlnt be hard to do.

Can you tell me how to wire this up? I bought a mirror today with only the compass and temp. I got power to the mirror, and it comes on, states the direction, and the temp states "OC". How do I get the temp to work, and how do I calibrate the compass? I have a 97.Any help is appreciated.

A few days old but did you get an answer?
The temp needs the temp sensor, did you get that and is it hooked up?
To calibrate the compass, I have GM diretions at home but you have to put the compass in a mode, hold a button down and drive in a circle three times until if finds the zone you are in and points in the correct direction when you turn to it.
Sounds weird but true.

thats what she saidIt's coming!!!!!!

i do not have the temp sensor. I got the compass calibrated. I was just unsure if my car already had one. I would really like to have it read the ait temo, but am unsure if that is possible?
