It was pretty easy to wire up, PINK-+12, BLACK-Ground, BLK/WHT-Temp Sensor, GRN/WHT-Temp Sensor. I just ran the wires around the windshield gasket and down though a small hole in the dash. Mounted the temp sensor on the core support for wind to blow over it when driving to get an accurate measurement. Mounted the mirror and turned on the key, and now I have a temperature mirror!






Here's the remote for the autostart!


Here's where the autostart's antenna is mounted, the wires for that are also run in the windshield gasket.
