Is the Temperature Sensor on the K-Source Mirrors # KS62147-48G a Display

Updated 03/21/2018 | Published 03/19/2018

Question:

What does it mean that the KS62147-48G does not have temperature sensors? Do some mirrors have a temperature display built in? I do have an ambient temperature display on my trucks dash - but I wouldnt have thought that there was a sensor in one of the mirrors for this. I mean this K-source mirror is stated to be heated and have electric power adjustment. Just like the small OEM units on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 - which I am looking to replace. Thanks,

For the ambient temperature display to properly work in your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 a sensor is required. Some vehicles have it equipped just inside the grille while others have it equipped on one of the mirrors. From the information that I could gather I believe your Sierra 1500 has it in the grille location.

Since that is the case the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors # KS62147-48G will work great for your application!
