Replace autodim mirror with compas mirror
Has anybody replaced a Auto dim rear view mirror with the one that has a compas in it? I have a 2002 with just autodim, but no compas and want to install one that has both.
Is it a direct swap? How do you take the mirror off?

are you willing to pay over $100 for a completely new mirror just to get a compass?
My suggestion if you really want a compass to USE and not just for looks:
Go to a boating supply store and you can buy very small digital compasses that are like 2x4 inches in size and you can put them anywhere - stick to the windshield, dashboard, center console, whatever.....
sorry I can't answer your actual question, but I'm just throwing out an alternate suggestion....
If you guys do this, drop me a pm maybe I'll buy your old autodim mirror, since I have a regular one!

Well, I am eyeing a crashed MAx at the junk yard...so it should be cheap...
Thanks for advice
About auto-dim - it drives me crazy actually, because the default setting is AutoDim ON, and I want the default to be off. I have tinted windows and you can't see $hit at night.

use the sun or the stars.
North star...or,,,
in the day, sun rises in the East, sets in the west....
but unless you're off-roading (not likely in a maxima) couldn't you just look at the road signs to know where you are?
