Compass / Temp Mirror

I'm interested in the Compass/auto dimming mirror for my 2005 F250 Supercrew. Does anyone know if the harness is there already or will I need to get one to install. Does the mirror give outside temp?

Thanks,
Jim

Someone on here a couple of weeks ago added this to his truck. Do a search, and see if you can find it. From what I could get out of his question, no, this is not plug and play. I think he got some of the harness from the junkyard, but we had to figure out where to pick-up power from.

Here it is.

jimvh2, I purchased the mirror from a catalog, it was $199. It came with a harness, one lead for the senser, one lead for power supply. It required power only when the truck was running.

I just got a very nice one off ebay made by Exon Science. Came with everything I need and works great. Very nice product. Still up in the air about where abouts the temperature probe should be mounted?

On the explorers, the factory temp sensor is mounted in front of the radiator, behind the driver's side headlight.
