My ๐ŸŒฎ has a compass. :fancy:
My mk7 had it too, from the little screen in the dash.

Well, clearly it's important to me, but :notsure: how to put a $ value to it. Why?

I'm going to solve your compass issue.

So my friend has a Golf Alltrack S, the base model, and added this mirror:

I've actually been thinking about that homelink mirror. :aintcare: about the garage door buttons, but I think it would be my only option to get a compass in the car, and I don't think it needs any sort of antenna. (Cars that come with the :scrooge: base HU have a dummy shark fin)
Not a fan of tearing into interior trim to run wires :doe: . Will have to watch several how to videos to decide if I think I can :doit:
Although, I did do a bit of it on my Mk6 when I installed a dash cubby, Euro switch with trigger wire, and a Double Apex usb port. Hmmmmm.....

Actually I think this is the one he got.

It looks the same but there's different versions of the mirror

Edit: Just saw your other reply. It would be a sweet upgrade, but it sure isn't cheap. However if you would actually use homelink I think that would lessen the blow.

I have no interest in home link, but the auto dimming aspect is kinda :neat: . It's a lot of scratch for a compass, :doe:

Just cash in your bitcoins or dogecoins. You couldn't even dip into your GME

I'm actually hoping the auto dimming feature works on the mirror I bought, and if it does hopefully the side mirrors will dim as well.

:iono: it seems worth the money to me... :wap: is a 10 year car owner guy, $23/year to have a feature you care about it worth it. Plus, auto dimming and Homelink don't suck either. Good suggestion.

Also, back to Trav's car search... I happen to have heard a rumor that he didn't :doit: and still drives a FiST, but :troywaxed: on other vehicular items :notsure:
