    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    I'll check this evening. At one point I had extras with auto dim, compass, and homelink. Had a box of em years ago that came from junk cars but I've installed some in a few vehicles since.
    If I still have one, I'll let you know and we can work a deal. You'll just need to tap an accessory power wire for it.

    If you have an off-road you don’t require built in compass

    Mine has the Tech package and Convenience package (if I remember correctly) because it is a MT, so Sunroof, BSM, premium Audio non JBL with nav, heated seats, and the Homelink mirror.

    I have no heated seats or garage door opener, but I have a compass! Bought the truck with 15,000 miles on it and spent a couple weeks trying to find out where the garage door opener was.

    ive thought about one of these… My fav screen is not the compass one and it takes a bit to flip to it.
    I have used it… but not handy at a glance like the above traditional compass.

    im not a fan of the mirror version either. I like to see which end of SW I’m going for example - I prefer more than one notch every 45 degrees!

    Doesn’t the on/off button control the mirror dimmer? My mirror compass stays on all the time.

    Its a simpler and cheaper option than replacing your mirror.
    It works when your truck is off also.

    Yep, Andrew did my right on that one. Works great. I had ordered a second used one off eBay in case this one didn't work. If anyone wants it, PM me.

    Unless you DO off-road. I was on some desert trails and kept coming to 3-way and 4-way junctions. No signs. At least a compass tells you which way to get lost.

    It was a joke about how being an off-roader you are intuitively aware your geographical coordinates at all times :rofl:
