Older P/U with a glass-mount mirror a few inches below the w/s trim. How/where do you run/conceal the wires from the mirror to the power source?

The wires mostly come from the head liner, this is where mine goes along with a strip of plastic that goes between the mirror & the head liner

I took the side trim out and ran it behind it. Once the side plastic is out it loosens the roof up and I tucked the wire behind it. I ran the power from my fuse box which in my vehicle is located on the driver's side. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I was able to slip my wires between the lip of the rubber windshield seal and the metal (actually fiberglass in my case) frame of the vehicle around the windshield. I ran them over to the left side of the windshield and then down to the dash, all behind the lip of the seal. The edge of the seal bulges out a slight amount but it's barely noticeable. At that point I was able to take them between the dash and the body of the car to get them to a power source.

I supposed you could mount it that way if you want but I prefer to keep it hidden behind the mirror. You can hide the cable by just tucking it between the molding and trim on top of the windshield and along the door panel and under the glove box. You can't even see mine. Good Luck.

Greg, I have one of these on the front & I don't care a lick for it! Buy a bigger unit if you can! As far as wiring, I just made up a 2 strand wire harness & ran it along the inside edge of my deep v right down to the battery. I then split it & put a connecter for each post. It works like a charm! I'm no Guru when it comes to this kind of stuff either and I made it work. cbmgh@comcast.net if I cabn be of further assistance to you. CB

I am not sure since I do not use it the way you can the bottom mount power supply makes it simple because any wires you are not using can just lay in the bottom out of the way. I was not sure about the power supply but the Thermaltake system does keep the power supply much cleaner.

mount in location where speedo cable will reach, tie in to neutral indicator wire, oil pressure alarm wire, turn signal wire, and 12vdc wire for back light, not hard just time consuming hiding everything

I plug it in. That's the nice part about it. I have been very happy with the mirror.

You just Epoxy it to the old mirror underneath. Its the simplest way to do it.

The only wire to the mirror is the power cable. The link to the camera is wireless. A cable goes from the camera to a small transmitter for transmitting to the mirror.

Yes, you will have to splice wires, go here to see removal of mirror http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F63xzHmD0qA

I mounted mine to an outlet electrical box, the mirror screws in where the outlet normally sits an covers the box. I did mine with a remodel, so I installed the outlet box at the right height for the mirror.

I put it at the top of the windshield under the window trim. My windshield has a black trim on it so you could not see it inside or out. I ran the wire up the "A" pillar trim.

The mirror I got does not have a light so there are no wires and no plug. Sorry this doesn't help much.

It would take quite a bit of work and taking your doors apart to get the wiring out. When I take my doors off, I leave my power mirrors in the doors and use a set of non-power mirrors mounted to the mirror brackets. Much easier to switch back and forth as well.

I would suggest either using a voltmeter or going on the forums. I googled it and didnt find a picture of your connector behind the mirror. But if it has power, chances are the product will work. Just need a ignition on power source and a ground.

Just thinking. My cable run on the outside but start at on the lower tube with enough room at the very top of the tube to place the mirror without interfering with the cables. Hope yours is the same. If you need a picture let me know.

If it isn't auto dimming then there probably isn't power at the mirror. It's no big deal though, just tuck your power wire under the headliner to the A pillar and down to the area below the dash on the driver's side. Next, it's just a matter of locating a power source that turns on and off with the ignition and tapping into it. Escort makes a hardwire kit that is plenty long enough and I believe has everything necessary to wire into the fuse box. It also has a mute button and indicator leds built in. It should fit if there is fairly decent space between your mirror and windshield.
