Has anyone added the outside temp gauge to overhead?

[big95hoe]

I have a 95 Tahoe LT and was wondering has anyone added the factory outdoor temp. and compass to the overhead console. mine only has the blank plate in that place. what's all involved wiring wise and what do I need to get?

uh, the option is in the rear mirror not in the overhead console.

No I only have the compass in the rear view what I'm wondering is if the outdoor temp and compass out of say a 95-04 s-10 blazer would work (it would go where the rear heat and ac control would be in suburbans) and if so what would be involved in doing this

not seen that done here. as i mentioned people here have been getting the rear view mirror from the 1999's i think and add the thermo probe and wiring it in. most get the parts from a local junk yard.

Get everything from the donor vehicle and I bet you can make it work.

Thanks I think ill give that a try instead of putting it the overhead console cause I found out id have to change my overhead console to the one out of the blazer I hate that I can't leave anything alone

or you can get a sensor 7 pin connector and comp/temp mirror whatever you prefer!

also the sensor is located in the middle of the coresupports if you need to get one

The DIC in the overhead console sounds intriguing

With that said, I've done the comp/temp mirror in both my Caprice and the '77 and I love it!!! Very cool mod and not hard to accomplish really.
