Default Rear View Mirror

New kid in town, I want to replace my rearview mirror with the electronic one that has all of the goodies on it. Is it a simple replace and plug in or are they not compatable?

I added a Gentex mirror with autodim feature, LED maplights, dual line compass and temp. I got it off ebay it was originally pulled from an 06 Jeep Wrangler. I did have to get a temp sensor as well as wire up a relay since the map lights worked opposite what they should. Overall I Love it, it even fit right in the stock mirror windshield wedge.
This mirror can be picked up for around $200 new on ebay with wire harness and temp sensors.
I dont really have any good pics of it though.
