The Saturn mirror is the same as any GM mirror without onstar. I have one in my Ford Probe I got off ebay for like $50 bucks. I am hooked on the map lights in the Rover mirror though.

I found the hard part was finding one without on star and without the passenger airbag lite

That was a great set of videos you posted here. Thanks!
My rear view mirror is extremely discolored (seemingly permanent) on one side, and this video was the motivation I needed to switch it out.
I think though this video helped me to decide to keep it to the bumper mounted lighting for now.... just too many darn possibilities

Great videos, enjoyed them with my morning coffee as well! Do you have any footage/details on installing the rubber grommet to run the wiring for the roof lights? It's an often asked question around here without a lot of clear answers (or install footage).

I didn't have a video on grommet install. I just made one since you asked. I also talk about wiring safety. ie... wire sizing, fuse protection, grommets and touch on relays and switches. I actually demonstrate a wire fire because of poor protection. I plan on making videos on wiring relays and connections. If there is some other subject you want to see let me know. thanks. I will post it once I edit it under a new thread

Default video on how to prevent wire fires

I made a video on how to prevent wire fires by ensuring proper wire size, fuse protection and the use of grommets. I plan on making a few other wiring videos such as how to wire relays and why we need them and how to make good electrical connections. here is a link to it. Hope it will help someone. I always appreciate all the posts on the forums and want to do my part.

Some of us just don't know, and would really like to

I am very appreciative of SilverCreekMotors taking the time to share

Still mucking about with my Carputer install, wiring and figuring out what the hell the previous owner did to the audio wires. This gives me confidence and a better understanding!
