Anyone install an after market auto-dimming mirror with a built in compass? I've found several on the web from MITO corporation, which I think makes the standard MINI auto-dimming rear mirror.

Unlike the recent post about using an after market compass, I'd like something that looks like standard equipment.Anybody Install a Reliable Electronic Compass?

 

How much and where are the dealers?

 

thanks for the info on the mirror. i will be sure to check out the website. i have a friend with a WRX; the compass on the mirror is so useful for travelling in unknown places!

the biggest manufactures of auto dimming mirrors and compass are Donnelly Corp and Gentex. both in MI. :smile:

 

Here's a Gentex dimming mirror with Temp and Compass for $299

Gentex Auto-Dimming Mirror w/ Compass & Temp

I'm goinng to see if I can find a local dealer that sells and installs these.

 

i have one of those mirrors in my wrx. it was great until i added the
rear cf wing. the wing basically blocks the headlights coming from a
SUV/truck, so the monochrome dimmer isn't activated. then whenever
a different car approaches behind me, the monochrome takes a few
seconds to dim and blinds me. :smile:

 

I installed an auto-dimming mirror w/ compass and temp in one of my other cars. It's a great feature and fairly easy to install. The one without temp function, it can be done in about 30-40 minutes. :smile:
