How do you install the Donnelly - Mirror and a GPS receiver?

I ran the power and temp sensor cable down the A-pillar. I removed the drivers side front wheel and plastic inner wheel well shield. Then I ran the temp sensor cable inside the wheel well and tie-wrapped it to the existing cable that runs there. I mounted the sensor inside the lower front bumper. This will make more sense once you remove the wheel and inner liner.

The other thing I noticed with the Donnelly mirror is that, because it is slightly larger than the stock Insight mirror, I am now able to see out the upper and lower back windows at the same time.

The temp probe is mounted inside the front bumper to protect it. I connected the power for the mirror to the switched 12 volt terminal on the inside fuse panel.

Once the compass was operational, I performed the calibration procedure outlined in the mirror instructions. Basically, you just drive in a circle to calibrate it (in an open area, away from buildings and power lines).

I replaced the mirror mounting button on the windshield. Be very careful when removing the original button because it is very easy to crack the windshield.
