Default Compass in Mirror Question

Has anyone seen a mirror with a compass contained within around? I want to replace the morror in my 2003 with it.

If you can steer me to a supplier and approximate cost I would apprecaite it.

I have installed a few dozen of these mirrors...even have one in my wife's car. They work great and look great. Very easy to install also.

I've been wanting a compass in my mirror too. What is the installation like for an '01 coupe that already has the auto dimming feature? Is it as simple as plug and play; or is there more to it?

Depends on which mirror your purchase. Some have compass and temp some have one or the other. Lets say it has compass only...it gets power and ground done. If it has temp you need to run the temp sensor to the front bumper and plug it into the mirror, then power and ground. Either way it is very simple install and comes with very good directions.

Most of us have the Outside Temp in the Climate Control.
I guess it probably has no little console elumination light.
