Will this fit the tsx mirror set up?

Can i just replace it with this honda one with a compass display? If u guys think i'm wasting my money, don't worry, cause i plan to move my auto dim to my sister's car if this one fits, or the K21 with the Blue LED temp and compass display.

Should fit as I imagine the TSX and Accord mounting bracket is probably identical.

That's a good looking mirror.

I would think that it would probably physically fit, but I'd be worried about wiring. Does the mirror get the compas data from the car, or are the electronics all in the mirror itself?

The wires would be the first thing that I'd check.


edit: Definatly let us know if it works. I'd like to see pics of a final install too.

One way to find out If you're worried, remember that you'll be doing the forum community a service by trying

(OK, there are actually two ways to find out, you could wait until moda_way shows up and looks at both service manuals)

i'd assume the mirror gets all the info for the compass. I also wonder if they dim to blue...i wouldn't want it if it dimmed another color...

Nifty... very nifty idea indeed. Please follow through and let us know!

Not that it matters to me (navi), but my GF's 02 accord could really use one of these.

The mirror is sold on H&A for the 2006 accord (i.e. it is a factory option for the '06), and there's not one listed on the 2002 accord page, so I think there's a good chance that it won't fit an 02 even if it does fit a TSX.

My wife says I need to buy one of those stick up compasses. I think they look alittle tacky. This would be a great alternative. Let us know how it goes.

Does it have auto-dimming? Our TSX's have auto dimming.

Yes, it's an auto day/night mirror.

shure. get nav. that works just perfect.

but seriously, ask both local acura and honda dealerships to print you a page of the wiring off of thier service manuals to see if they match.

Did anyone ever follow up on this? I know it's an old thread, but I'm curious to see if anyone tried it.

You could always go the $30 route as well:

doesn't work, as tsx uses some unique connector.
