Question I want the compass!
I want the overhead console with compass and temp like I had in my old truck. My 2000 F350 doesnt have that option. Where can I get one and how much is it gonna cost? Also, what wires/sensors need to be installed and where?

I got a Gentex rearview mirror off fleabay that has the compass and outside air temp display on it. It's also auto dimming. Came with all the wiring and sensors to make it work.

I found Gentex mirror prices just as good if not better on Amazon.com as anywhere including Fleabay. Better selection too.

"Hard to find tan color"

"Hard to find gray color"......

Exactly what's the easy color to find?

Hey Pop
If you read on down further it is only the shell that they are selling.
