Has anyone replaced the interior rear view self-dimming mirror with one that has a built-in compass display?
Please tell me where you got it and how it was installed. BTW the dealer quoted me $1200 for a new one!!!!!!
I have a 2003 SC430 with 65K miles and would like a mirror with a compass in place of the OEM mirror but not at that price!
Replies to iomsc430@gmail.com would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I posted a thread a couple months ago about how to tighten/remove the rear view mirror, it's a piece of cake once you understand how it comes off, takes about 30 sec. If you can find the mirror you want, I would think it would just be a simple swap. -Dave

Im not sure, but I think the key reciever is in the mirror. So be carefull swapping out the mirror.

I couldn't find a replacement for the OEM mirror, so I got a stick-on digital compass for my windshield that even has a night light!
Problem solved.

There is one thing about the Original mirror you need to know.
The Auto-Dimming button on the mirror (which cuts down headlight reflections in the mirror at night) also activates the auto-dimming on the rear view mirrors on the doors....
