autodimming mirror upgrade

Postby purdue98 » Wed Sep 11, 2013 2:20 am

Currently, the 2010 Pathfinder LE has an auto dimming mirror with homelink installed. I would like to add a digital compass mirror. Will a newer version of the mirror with a compass work on the current OEM wiring system. I found one for a 2013 Pathfinder for under $190?
Thank you.

I see some on Ebay that are under $100 that should work fine with your model. '06+ should connect right up. I can't tell for sure, but it appears the connector is the same for the '13 as well.

I'm surprised yours doesn't have the compass. My '08 SE model has that from the factory. Probably one more thing they've cheapened out on over the years. Probably saved them $1.

Thanks for the input.
I don't think the LE got that option only the S models

Does your have NAV? According to the brochure I have, all models come with the "auto dimming homelink mirror with compass". I've seen on other brands (Acura) that they don't include the compass mirror on models with NAV. Seems absurd but that's what I've seen. Either way there should be a ton of these out there on the used market if all models come with them except NAV.

My Pathfinder has navigation. The owners manual is typical model non-specific and discusses both types of mirrors but the autodimming mirror in my pathfinder only has the homelink system. i am hoping to purchase the same mirror but with the added compass feature and was concerned the plug might be different on the backside.

I would bet the plug is the same for most Nissans from the same general period. I think you'll be good to go. Report back to confirm!
