Homelink Mirror
I know that a while back I had seen information on a Homelink mirror that had garage door opener and a compass built in. I had one on my 350Z.
Anybody have one or know of one for the C5? If so, where can I get it and at what cost?
Thanks.

Mito and Gentex make them. At one point one of the supporting dealers was working on it but I think that well thru the cracks.
Here is the Gentex

Question for 14U2ENV:
is the Gentex unit plug and play with the GM plug?

Gentex will likely not be plug and play. It comes with its own wire harness which includes temp sensor. The new ones are pretty sweet they also come with LED maplights and dual line temp / compass.

Got mine off eBay. Fairly easy install.

How do you like it? and how do the LED maplights look?
The only downside to this is I really like the little amber "moodlight" mounted under the stock mirror that gives the center counsil some light at night. Looks cool. I wonder if this light can be somehow mounted in the Gentex.

I installed the Gentex and think it works very well and looks great. You need to order it with the map light option to replace the functionality of the stock mirror. With the map light option you can set it to give the dim light over the shifter when it is dark. It was not difficult to mount or wire, but it took me about four calls to the tech support line to get the pin-out connections to control the outside driver mirror's dimmer.
Here is one more link to see the mirror.
