I believe the tech is inside the mirror... Find a car that has one, and check what wires are which. Then hook everything up where it should go.. 12v, gnd, etc.... _________________

I guess the only way to find out is get a book with a car that comes with compass and look up the wiring diag... When I find out I post it.
