Wish this was around 3 years ago when I did one in my FG. Although I spent a bit more & sourced a mirror from the US with the compass in it, which had to be calibrated to the local zone.

These are fantastic at night - you don't realise just how well they work, until you get in a car without it.
I would be interested to hear more about your compass mirror, many times I have thought about getting one of those when I've seen a couple for a reasonable price, whats the deal with re-calibrating the compass, is it a special procedure or do you need to get someone to tinker with it?

Does your one have the Outside Temp feature too? I thought those ones would be good for the low series cars without the factory temp sensor. But the mirror probably only reads the temp in oF, not oC.
