Compass

I'm new to this forum and my Mini also (2012 Clubman S).
I bought the car used but would have ordered it with the rear view mirror that has the garage door opener and compass built in. I don't think I can do a retro-fit??
I can live without the door opener but I'm looking for some type of small digital compass to work in. I do have one on my external GPS but I don't often have unit with me.
Any ideas??

There have been several threads about retrofitting the door opener, so I assume its possible. All it needs is a power supply.

Any compass except for the one designed for the MINI would have to be specially shielded.
