Shawn,

Can you tell me how to hook it up (Adam told me that it's got an AMB function and compass) Where does the sensor go to read the outside air?

From what I've seen, the sensor mounts onto the windshield above the mirror base.

They are nice aren't they

After reading all of these posts, I'm glad that my MP5 came with one right from the start!



Having it already on the car was one of the main reasons that I bought it over a used RSX ...

Yeah, palomar mountain should be the next meet... twisties rule!

be careful goin up and down palomar mountain...there's some drop off where there's no guard rails....

Not to pick on you ... but the main reason you bought your car is because it had an auto-dimming mirror?

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I knew where the power came from. The local MS dealer probably couldn't figure it out with with both hands, instructions and a flashlight.

Well if there are no instructions, Im just going to run the power off the same place I spliced my V-1 off of. Can just run the power up to the headliner, and down the a-pillar.

People with the Auto-Dimming Mirror in your Protege5. Do you guys have get outrageous temps? For example, today in NYC it was around 70 degrees, but mines read at 96 degrees. Anybody know what the problem could be?

Chojin told me, "From what I've seen, the sensor mounts onto the windshield above the mirror base"

Which I think means not correct temps since it's connected to the winshield instead of some type of intake plumbing, etc to read ambient air temps

It comes with all the wiring necessary to run it down the a-pillar and hook it into the fuse block at the drivers left foot.

It's a pretty sweet setup they give you. Just be careful removing your old mirror, use a long thin screwdriver to unclip your old one and dont apply too much pressure (or else crack....)

They give you all the wiring to run the sensor up all the way to under the front right bumper, so the sensor would work WELL as an intake temp sensor if you mount it into your CAI...

Hmmm Not a bad Idea

Thanks sdmp3! I think Next pay check I may have to invest in one of these (as well as the boost gauge too while I'm at it)

That should be all the mod's I will be doing..


For now... muhahahahahahahaha
