P1000 Automotive Rear view mirror clamp to button GENTEX compass temp

[2018GMC]

I gave a spare GM GENTEX automotive mirror I want to mount in my pioneer 1000-5. I have the outside temp sensor and compass wired up.

Only problem is getting the damn automotive button to stick to the upper cage. I’ve tried rearview mirror adhesive and JB weld. Left for over 12 hours and as soon as I mount mirror it falls off.

Can’t glue button mount to windshield since I have the SATV that flips open. I think it would bounce a lot anyway.

Anyone know of a clamp to button or flat steel clamp I can glue mount to?

How about mounting the windshield button to a rollbar light mount from the top bar?

Weld a bolt to the back of the button, then bolt it to the mount and install mirror. Would post a diagram, but not that computer smart.

I'd say if you had a buzz welder you would all ready have thought to tack the mount to the bar. What about getting a large "P" clamp. Slide the mounting plate onto the mirror and drill a hole through the mirror base and the mounting base. Pre drill a hole through the "P" clamp and you might have some luck with a sweet mirror.

I LOVE it! I asked this same question a while back because I wanted to do the same thing. My thought was to use the mirror that had the backup cam built in too.

Where did you get the mirror? How did you wire it up?

Cheapest place to get one is at your local junkyard. GM used in many vehicles. Suburban, Tahoe, Silverado and many later Saturn SUV.

Wiring. If mirror has auto dimming (most do) wire pin 3 to ground (pin 2). Put temp sensor in front of radiator. This is factory GM location. There is a built in algorithm on how the mirror reads temp depending on how long mirror is powered to account for radiator cooling off etc.

I used some 18 or 20 gauge speaker wire for the pos / neg connection and temp sensor connection.

Make sure you get the wiring plug with the mirror.
