Compas in 2K3 Maxima...Anybody else upset?

When I got my 2K2 Maxima last year the one thing that I wished it had was a compas. That was the ONLY thing it didn't have which I felt it was lacking. Well, I guess I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Now the 2k3 has one in it's rear view mirror. Is anyone else upset that they don't have this compas in their rear view mirror? By the way, just for the sake of argument, if I happened to want to upgrade to this 2K3 mirror, how much does everyone think it would cost?

2k2 altima's have them on the rear view mirror also...so you don't have to ask for the 2k3's only.

Yeah, its got me kinda peeved as well...
I could use a compass too because I always get lost
Why does the Altima have compass and tilt, but Maxima don't?! I thought this was their flagship! and now Nissan rapes us for killer charges if we want a stock look compass put in too.

Mebe they wanted us to all fork out for the Navigation.

And tilt what? My 2k2 has a tilt sternin wheel. Doesn't yours? Or do you mean teloscoping wheel? Does everyone really want that anyways?

oh....to elaborate, those are the ghetto towns where you lock your doors and hear random shootings here and there when you pass by.

Sorry, thought it was the Northeast forum by accident.
