Compass- ambient temp

THis is a little off topic because its for a 2010 EDGE. Just thought one of you guys might lead me in the right direction. Truck has no copass or temp readout, but i can see the LED display below the odometer (not lit). Im wondering what is missing to make it work ? I assume the wires are there, but power is not plugged in, etc ?.... The mirror was the location for the temp and compass on 2007 - 2008 vehicles, but now the mirror has a SYNC capability to tie into you cell phone. Mirrors on e-bay say dont fit the SYNC models. I assume i might need a "compass" that attaches to the mirror or under dash, then wires run to the blank digital display ... ???? Ideas... I really need to look at a wiring diagram of whats missing !

It may be as simple as the dealer hooking to the PCM and turning on the function if the LED's are there.

I know there are suppose to be a couple "multi function" buttons on the dash that are "blank" on mine. THey are to calibrate, switch from Faren to Celc, etc.. not sure how it all goes together. I sure cant find anything on internet search. Im thinking about buying a FORD 2010 Wireing Manual and starting there..

If you have the Message center pressing the info button should scroll to compass (if equiped) as explained in owners manual.

On my wife's '08 the compass is located with the odometer and there is no temp. display on it. It is a SEL trim level.
