I just made an appointment to have the dealer install the Gentex, with the compass, temp readout and auto dimmer. It will be $300 with labor, and since my Pro 4x is brand new, I just don't trust myself to begin splicing and cutting. I read the excellent write up here, but I am happier letting a pro do it right.
Where were the wires you connected to?
I mounted the temp sensor below the factory pigtail for the OEM temp sensor. I ran the sensor wiring through a rubber grommet in the firewall. I tapped into my dashboard fuse panel for power. I used a mini fuse tap I bought from Accessafuse.com.
Wow, that's a good price! A couple years ago my dealer had quoted me around $500 (in Canada). Can you tell me what brand and model the mirror they sold you is? Is it an aftermarket mirror, or the OEM?
It's OEM and made by Donnelly. The part number is 999L1-UR001. The list price was $216 but I got mine for $149.99 plus tax. Not sure it they still sell them or were trying to get rid of the remaining stock. I got it in Dec 07.
