I am about to purchase one of the Mopar kits and install it...I was hoping someone out here might have done this already and has the instructions for me to oogle over before buying one...but I dont think it would be that difficult..but then again..one never knows... nosirrahg 03-12-2008, 06:22 PM Sometimes if you have the part number of an item, you can simply Google that number and find the instructions posted somewhere. I did this when contemplating installing the trailer wiring kit; found the part number and in trying to track down a cheaper source, found a pdf of the install instructions, and after looking them over opted to pass on it all together (since I don't really plan to tow much beyond a bike rack). patriot22 03-12-2008, 06:56 PM neighbor installed one of these in his newly purchased used truck (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Auto-Dim-Dimming-Temperature-Compass-rear-view-mirror_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33699QQihZ019QQi temZ290213492320QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) pretty cool gadget I thought. he said it was a nice full day project. i was thinking of one for my patriot also... brianeco03 03-13-2008, 06:40 AM I was able to get a set of instrutions on pdf...It does look to be a pantience-filled event that could take a few hours for the intimidated and inexperienced....If anyone wants them before deciding to spend the $$, lemme know... TSWI 03-13-2008, 01:01 PM I bought the one on the jeep accessories site with compass and temperature display: http://mopar-accessories.com/jeep/4_08_MK74_4023.html I had it installed by a third party. They did a good job and the dimming, compass, and temperature display all work great. wburmil 03-25-2008, 11:32 AM I dont have the wireing for the miror on my Jeep 08 Pat Sport, I would need the wires I assume so my pat cant use one :( patriot22 03-25-2008, 05:16 PM I dont have the wireing for the miror on my Jeep 08 Pat Sport, I would need the wires I assume so my pat cant use one :( the one in my post above can be installed in any vehicle.
