Default Gentex Mirror in the LS400

Did a search and didn't find anything specific to the LS400. Just wondering if anyone had changed out the stock auto-dimming mirror to a Gentex auto-dim with compass. Thought that might be a cool upgrade if it's not too difficult to wire up and mount.

Anyone done it?

Well... if you want to keep the stock look, you can buy a 2001+ GS mirror and it bolts right up to 95+ LS400's, and also has a compass. But be ready to pay a good penny, because the demand is high.

why would you want to do it? you just dim the mirror when you need it.. and im pretty sure all LS400's come with a thermo in the guage cluster.. hmmnn.. all that leaves is a compass huh?

Yeah, I love the auto dimming but want the compass. Always want something more!
