Thanks rps. I considered the blendmount extension but i’d like to try and keep the detector up and out of the way as much as possible, even if it is only just a quarter inch.
So just a follow up.
Scored a mirror with EC / LED / GTO / Compass on eBay.
Unplugged my (old style bracket 2 wire) mirror from my (4 wire) harness.
Twisted the old mirror off the windshield mount.
Twisted the new mirror on the windshield mount.
Plugged in my old 4 wire connector to the new mirror’s 9 wire connector.
And started up the car.
The compass lit right up and the mirror glass (EC) dimmed.
I pushed the (GTO) homelink buttons and the LED would light up.
I have yet to test the functionality of the homelink as my garage door opener is broken ATM.
I shut off the car and the alarm LED started blinking as normal.
Easy as that, took like 15 minutes.
The compass was wrong at first and only took a little while to recalibrate, but i didn't have to do anything.
I went for a drive and it started displaying the correct direction on its own, on my way home from the drive.
Some pics below.
