Has anyone replaced their standard rearview mirror with the digital compass one?
I have a 2010 Journey/Sport with Navi but I do not like the tiny little compass on the Navi screen. Yesterday I had my car in for some minor work and had a loaner G37 (without Navi) but it had a rearview mirror with the built in digital compass that my car does not have.
Can those be easily switched out? Has anyone done this or priced this?

G37NC, funny you mention this. thought the same thing. I have the auto dimming rearview mirror with Homelink BUT no Compass.... I also have Navi, compass is worthless - you can't read it... If you find out if there is Homelink Auto dimming mirror with Compass, please post and i will try the same - make a swap if possible.

Hopefully the mirror with compass will just plug in and work. You would think all the G's of a certain year would have the same wires running to the mirror, regardless of which mirror they have.
In my thinking using the same wire bundle, to the mirror, would be the cheapest way for Infiniti to go.
I'm looking forward to see what you find out, since I would also like to have the mirror with the compass. I do a lot of long distance driving and on occassion it comes in handy to have to just take a quick look at a 2 letter compass readout to see if your going in the right direction.
The symbol on the Nav screen is useless for my needs.
It would be better if they would just add a small box on the Nav screen with a 2 letter compass reading.

There's where I've bought a couple. Gentex make the mirrors for Infiniti and most other car manufacturers.

I think they deleted it after ’09. My ’08 has both nav and mirror compass. It is unfortunate that they did that as the nav screen compass is difficult to read.

Chekov: You're correct. If you check the web site, when Navi is added the rearview Home link auto dimming mirror Loses the Compass. That would appear to mean that the Compass function won't work when Navi is added, I guess.
