    Maybe I'm the only one who never knew this, but if you have a 2013, with the backup camera display in the rearview, you can hold down the auto-dimming power button and a menu will display. You can change the temperature colors and compass functions. I could be an idiot for not knowing this, but there has to be more people who don't. So there ya go.

    I didn't know either but I didn't sit there and play with the mirror. My other Tacoma had the overhead console display and that was pretty plain and simple. Thanks for the tip none the less.

    Your signature political statement convinces me and probably others on here that you have difficulty reading.

    I like the mirrors that you can flip the bottom of the mirror and then it dims. I am still on the fence about liking the auto dim or not.

    I guess you can change the compass to show "S" when it should be "N?"

    I submit that your racially charged, offensive and bigoted views evidenced by the proud display of your signature slogan only reinforces the widely held perception that folks in the South have diminished IQs and come from a murky gene pool.
