I have this gentex Mirror I want to mount in my truck. It has outo dim and map lights. It has five wires going into it. Black is ground, red or pink is the map lights, brown light up the auto dim button. But I have 2 wires left, a blue with a white stripe and another black. The plug that goes into the back of the mirror is numbered 1 through 7 for the wires. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 are the numbers being used. Any help?

I installed a used one and for some reason 99.9% of the time it gets confused with east n west. Never figured out why. Maybe it was made in the far east..lol good luck.

I remember when I got mine (it was OEM) it had to be calibrated. Might check into that further..... ?

Yes, I done the small circle at leas than 10MPH in a parking lot thing. Even tried doing a 180 with the internal card hoping to fool it. It didn't. I believe it's like my X just confused. Thanks for the sugestion though.
