Default rear view mirror with compass

Hi All

I have looked but I can't find a rear view mirror that has a compass. I don't want to lose the lights underneath. Thanks for any help

Tom

Some GM mirrors will fit, search Ebay for newer model cars. They just require you to keep the new plug and splice the wires to work with the new mirror.

Ecklers has one that also has homelink in it. They want $429 for it, but it plugs right in.

I just purchased the Gentex mirror They will match or beat any price you have. The company is Auto Dimming Mirrors. It has compass, temp and homelink plus map lights. I got mine for $349
