Which Gentex? All are just power and ground but some have an outside temp sensor also. Does yours have the wires plugged into the molex already?

If its a Gentex...get rid of it....I have their top of the line mirror sitting in a box.

Gentex mirrors do not work in Corvettes. Thats with the 'corvette' harness.

Buy the mirror, but he harness. WASTE your money. Take your advice from someone that has BOTH sitting in a box.

Why do you think the Z06 owner is selling his?? THEY DO NOT WORK!!!

I have one for over two years installed in two C5s and it is still working great! I guess I got a bad one.
