Not sure if this will work for you but worth a look.

Most women I know are so bad with direction that I would trust looking for the north star at 12 noon a little more.

Maybe one of those rear view mirrors with the compas in it. Was it the C6 that has them? I thought I saw someone doing a conversion on here somewhere. It would look a little more clean looking then some suction cup thing sticking out from somewhere odd.

I've seen one member who adapted a rear view mirror from another car to fit. Not sure where the electronics are. I assume they're in the mirror. I think the C6 has the compass and electrochromatic as an option. Maybe that could be adapted? Try Gene Culley. I hear they're about $260
Try the old Navigators technique. Sun overhead at 12 noon. Add 30 degrees for every hour after noon and subtract 30 degrees before
Rises in the east, sets in the west
10AM 120 degrees
12 Noon South
2PM 240 degrees
