FWIW, there are rearview mirrors available with compass and outside temp.
displays built-in:

A bit pricey; these are the mirrors fitted to Mercedes ML SUVs.  I don't
know if they come with an outside temp. sensor, or whether that's extra
(it's about $20 for a sensor from a MBZ dealer).

What's left of the rear view mirror has been relocated to the garbage, I
destroyed it removing the mounting arm with the ball socket to use to mount
the compass. I actually got the compass/thermometer off of ebaY for $26.00
used. They are available new here:

Hey Tim, Where did you re-locate your rear view mirror to and where did you
find that cool comp/therm thingie. And how much.
Thanks  Bob
