Changing out inside rear view mirror
I want to update my interior rear view mirror to one that includes a built-in compass and an outside temp readout. Truck is a 2001 SD CC XLT.
Summit racing offers one made by ****...anybody ever tried one of these?
Is there a factory Ford model, from any Ford, that would work?

I have that mirror in my truck. It is the auto dark, compass, and outside temp. Had it for 7 years works great. The only issue is it is a bit smaller than the OE mirror, just takes some getting used to.

I put an auto-dimming with compass (no temp) mirror on mine. I got the mirror on ebay for about $30.
Here's mine...
2004 F250 Auto Dimming Mirror Install
You can find them on ebay that has the temp display as well, should be the same basic idea except you'll have a temp sensor wiring to run along with power and ground.
Do a search on ebay for "Ford Gentex mirror" and you'll find quite a few.
Good luck!

Also, much like the OEM Ford stereos, keep your eye out. Eventually you'll find one at a reasonable price. It took me a while to find mine for around $30. Usually they went for $40-60 used.
