After market rear view mirror

So I'm getting really tired of not having a compass in my car and was looking at retrofitting a new rear view mirror into my old girl.
I was wondering if anyone has done this in the past and if they had any recommendation for an after market mirror.
The going rate for mirrors with digital compasses seems to be about $150, including OEM brand
I found some for the Pilot, Odyssey and CRV. Will these work? Would the Accord mirrors be a better fit?

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Re: After market rear view mirror

I take it you want this because you get lost a lot, right?

Personally, I would stick with Broadway mirrors and get yourself a 3.5" screen Garmin GPS.

Haha, not that I get lost a lot, it just makes using a map much easier. That's right. I said it. A MAP! Screw GPS, I'm old school. Seems like every time I use a GPS it sends me some half-assed, bassackwards way. I find myself saying "I wish I had a map..." quite frequently

Re: After market rear view mirror

The GPS nowadays are very accurate. You'd be surprised. I felt the same way you did (I'm old school too) but I love gadgets.

Trust me, once you've gone GPS you'll never go back.
