Rear view mirror

I just bought an '03 4x2 crew cab lariat and love it so far (1,500mi). This is a minor complaint by my $40K truck came with $5.00 rear view mirror from the 70's.

Were there options to have a mirror with auto dim and/or map lights that wire into the console?

Has anyone wired in an aftermarket mirror? Maybe I'm being picky but I was used to the mirror in my Expedition.

I would like one of these too but have had trouble finding them. I'm mostly interested in the auto dim feature. Even just one out of an excursion would do. I also have been looking for new sun visors. I like the ones in our excursion but don't know if they will fit where my existing cheapos do?

So basically what you're saying is that I'm not the only one with a cheap A$$ mirror?

Right, I got a cheap o rear view on my xlt. I would like to find one from an Ex as I think that it will mount the same. The autodim is what I really want. Comp and temp are a bonus but not required. I really want one that I don't have to screw with the mount on the windshield just take down the old one and put up the new one and wire up.
