    I used a CTS mirror since I didn't want one that would have an unused outside temp display. The base was slightly different, and I needed to buy and modify the plastic wire trim cover that mounts to the headliner.
    Love this mod

    Really simple to do. 1 screw, 1 plug. No modification of wires or base needed. As soon as i powered up the compass went into calibration mode and set itself.

    It goes to the compass module. It's all part of the mirror.

    Don't tell anyone, but I swapped the one from my GT to my GXP... I literally did this mod the day I drove it home. Mine has the temp in the mirror, but I disassembled it and put black electrical tape over it. You can't even tell.

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    Maybe the model you picked up has the compass bits internal to the mirror.
