I noticed on nissan's website, that there is an available mirror which has the auto-dimming/homelink feature, but it also has a compass. I didnt think the normal homelink/auto-dimming mirror had a compass...is this something new for 06? I wonder if this is something a dealer can add-on.

 

i dont have a compass on my mirror and i have the homelink/auto dim mirror.

 

thanks. I didnt think they came with one. I wonder why they list it as an option, but not include it with the car to begin with...hmmm...

 

i have the homelink and it does have a compass on it ...2004 base model with aftermarket (oem) homelink mirror purchased from nissan in 2005.

just remembered,,the compass can be turned off...i think

 

2006 Touring and don't have a compass.

 

2K6 GT no compass.

 

i believe that no Z was ever shipped from the factory with a compass but they are available from Nissan. Anyone know for sure? Maybe someone from Performance Nissan could give you a part number.

 

It is shown on the nissanusa.com website that it is an available feature. I was just wondering why they didnt use that one instead of the one w/o the compass.

 

It's also in the user manual.

 

wow, now i want a freakin compass! sounds like nissan cut corners... again.

 

2003 performance no compass have homelink. I got ripped off.

 

04 enthu, w/ homelink. No compass... I really need one too.

Why is it only for the base model?

 

because it comes with all the wiring needed to install on a base..

so i fyou already hae homelink then you just plug and play...

sell your homelink to someone with a base and give tem te harness with it...

sorry.. im on one of tose internet booths at the airport.. they suck...

 

Probably, Nissan figured no one needed the compass because they would just get the Navigation system instead. Considering navi is only a factory-installed option, it seems like they could have selected the mirror (with or without compass) based on the navi configuration. Or, perhaps they figured they could make an extra 250-300 bones when we all upgrade!

 

Are you saying that it CANNOT be used on anything except the base model?

 

mym moms murano has compass and homelinfk and its the same same xact thing so u can jus take it outta some1s murano

 

No, If you buy the compass mirror and you already have the homelink only (no compass) mirror you can simply replace your homelink mirror with the compass homelink mirror because the power wiring for the mirrors is already installed in your car.
If you have a base Z without the homelink mirror, you don't have the wiring built into your car, it will have to be added. The compass homelink mirror kit you buy from nissan has the wiring harness included with it.
After you install the compass mirror you can sell your homelink mirror and the wiring harness that came with the compass mirror to someone with the base mirror so they can upgrade to the homelink mirror.
