Nissan Altima 2002 interior rear view mirror replacement - reuse temperature sensor?

Hi,
I have a Nissan Altima 2002. The interior rear view mirror has gone bad - the fluid inside has leaked partially. The mirror gives glare & double images and therefore it needs to be replaced.

I bought the replacement mirror online (999L1-UR001 NISSAN ALTIMA 2002-2006; Factory OEM Auto-Dimming Mirror. w/Compass & Temp. Gauge) . It has come with detailed instructions, which include installing a new temperature sensor.

I am wondering if I can use the already installed temperature sensor (which is working fine). Can I do that??? Maybe with just some sort of an adapter. I would like to do that, rather than going the whole way and replacing the temp. sensor too, which involves opening up many more parts of the car and threading the wire through numerous holes.
Thanks very much.

Just plug it in and see if the outside temp is accurate. Your car is already wired so if you need to find your ambient sensor is located in the left front lower grill opening you can change out your sensor with the one in the kit. But don't be alarmed if it does not read out side temp right away. It may take several trips for the temp to sync. On auto climate control cars after the ambient sensor is unplugged it too may need to relearn the outside temp again several trips and the a/c should start functioning again properly.
