Be sure to go by an auto glass place and have them remove your OEM mirror and glue the proper size metal "button" on the windshield because the OEM mount will not work with the Donnelly. Not sure about a GENTEX mirror. BTW, GENTEX does make a mirror that has HomeLink circuitry built in but it's about a $400 item. Later---

GENTEX mirror also doesn't fit legend's mount. However, it's a pretty simple modification to make it fit. This way you can always put the old mirror back on.

Here's a pic of my Donnelly mirror. A GENTEX has the temp & compass reading in a little "window" in the top right corner while the Donnelly has it on the "chin" as you can see.

Triton, that's too much, IMO. I paid approximately $120 for my Donnelly mirror. You may want to do an e-Bay search for them instead.

I saw that and that's a good price (for now). It says that it's a Donnelly but I swear it looks like a GENTEX. The Donnellys that I have seen have the display in the bottom part of the frame like mine. They all work the same way and are wired the same. Can't go wrong with either one.
