Some people have put on the GM/Toyo review mirrors with those features.

Mine has features like temp, compass, and UV ray display. The wires were basically plug/play, except I had to run the wire and mount the temperature probe sensor. Overall, I like it, and the readout is better than most aftermarket mirrors. Here is a pic:

I bought one from ebay (G Force was the vendor) and I bought one directly from Taiwan. They both failed multiple times. I have the original Nissan auto dimming back in my car now. The first one wouldn't dim, the second one would lose all it's settings randomly, the third one just died, the forth one lost a segment on the display and only dimmed sometimes. Still waiting for the fifth one to come back. I got the Taiwan vendor to give me my money back. The Ebay guy just keeps sending me replacements. They look nice, but the quality sucks.
