Autodim rearview w/ homelink + compass?

I'm on the market for a new rearview mirror as my '08 sedan doesn't have the premium package, leaving me with the crappy stock mirrors.

I've checked out Gentex mirrors but it seems that none of them have both homelink and a digital compass (it looks like it's one or the other). Anybody know of any other aftermarket mirrors that have both?

Thanks

I installed a Gentex autodim mirror (fleabay) pretty much the week I bought the car in '07, and am pretty sure there was one with HomeLink and compass available as well (did not need homelink).

yeah i second that dohturdima. i installed one right after i bought my base model and it has homelink and a compass....it was easy to do and well worth it in my opinion.

look for a guy called "wembleysells" on ebay. he has the mirrors you are looking for.

cheers.

Do these mirrors plug into an exisiting harness underneath the headliner? Anyone got a DIY for it?

no there isn't an existing harness, you just have to splice the power and ground with an existing supply/ground in the car. there are some diy's either on here or the other g sites, i don't have a link to them offhand but i'm sure you can find them in a search. it's very easy to do. i used an add-a-circuit from the automotive store for the power (and a 2.5A fuse) and just tapped an existing ground. quite easy.

the wires supplied by the seller will be long enough to run under the headliner, down the driver side a-pillar and down to the floor by the fusebox. you won't have a problem there.

cheers.
