Rear View Mirror Compass

[urbandaddy]

I noticed that when I turn my car on the little digital compass in the rear view mirror also has temp settings diplayed for a split second.

How can I change the mirrow to show those settings instead of the usually direction?

Um, is that temp setting "88"?

I don't think you can have both, even if one is only displayed for a sec. At least on the classic I believe that you can. I forgot that we were talking about the 2nd gen here

It's because that same mirror is used in Chevrolet and GMC trucks. Out 2001 Sierra has the same mirror as my Aurora. His displays the temperature instead of the direction. I don't know how you would set it though.

Look Familiar?

Check the owner's manual for the settings.

On mine ('99), it doesn't display the actual temp so much as it just tests the display right after car ignition (i.e. all the segments light up). There isn't anything mentioned in the manual or service manuals about how to change it. It does seem like it's just a display feature that was disabled on this car.
