Climate control upgrade
Has anybody upgraded from the manual climate control unit to the automatic unit? I like having the outside temperature information - maybe I could get a display with the outside temp and leave the climate control alone. Any thoughts?

I have found that the Gentex mirrors are awesome. Its a dual line Temp/Compass displayed at same time. It is also a auto-dimming mirror and is available with LED maplights (which in our case we would need).
To find this item type in Gentex mirror on ebay. The ones im talking about with the maplights and dual line temp/compass usually go for low to mid $100's (if I remember correctly). Hope this helps. I have been considering getting one.

Gentex website shows all the versions of mirrors available, and points you to Mito Corp to buy them.

Keep in mind that you need to be careful about the wiring connections/harness compatibility with the C5. They should be able to help.
