        Nice. I've been wanting to do that swap for a while. Beat me to the suggestion, if you search autodimming mirror crown victoria on google images, you'll get drocks or steves83bronco superford page chock full of the info you where looking for.

        Alex.

          You can get the same mirror from some Chevy Products. The trailblazers have that mirror and they also have a temperature display as well. All you'd need would be the temp sensor and you're set. I bought mine off of ebay. It came with the mirror, the harness, and the temp sensor. And it uses a set screw instead of that clip on bs the newer crown vic mirrors use.

              They are very easy to wire in. After getting my first one I went back and got one from a VUE with the temperature as well. I've seen them with map lights too but those have a lot more wires for the battery, door switch etc.

              and +1 on the screw type, the spring clip kind always take chunks of glass with them
