Will a rear view mirror w/ compass and temp sensor work on my car?
I'm thinking about swapping my rear view mirror with one that includes a compass and an outside air temp. Obviously i'd need to buy a sensor to monitor the outside temp., but will i need to buy an onboard compass for it also? Or is this mounted inside the mirror. Has anyone done this swap before?
The mirror im wanting to buy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GM-RE...spagenameZWDVW

The compass is in the mirror. On the trucks chevy mounted the temp sensor behind the grill in front of the radiator.
I've actually been tempted to install on of these, but I'd loose my interior light in the mirror.

You could get that, but more than likely it doesn't come with the wiring or sensor. I would find that out first.
You can buy these aftermarket and come with everything, including instructions.
Why is this in the engine tech forum?

You'll have to find one with the sensor and wiring but yeah you can get one to work. I have one in my car....I love it. Think its from a Toyota Sienna or something. Made by Gentex.
