Info on Digi Compass for the XB
I noticed that the my Scion xB (newly bought) doesnt have a digital compass in it like my wifes Explorer. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a rear view mirror with a digital compass on it that you can install on the xB. Or any other ideas for that matter.

Yeap, my wife and i are bad with directions and are too lazy to open up a map. That's why I got...
Has compass and then more but yeah, it's a a little overkill for what you're asking for.
Anyway, I tried helping saicow installing a auto-dimming/compass rear view mirror that stuck onto the windshield but he says it shakes like crazy with the rough idle we have on our cars during stops.

Yeah... I am. hehehe 
But yeah, I don't have DVD playback, but I can play CD's though. I can however, add a RGB converter to hook up a DVD player, or a PS2, or a XBOX, or a ... Well, you get the idea. Anyway, enough with me. :D
Have you tried looking into retrofitting the tC's optional rear view mirror with compass? It might be a little expensive but I'm sure it's possible. Otherwise I think there are some sites that sell rearview mirrors with compass, Homelink, and maplights. The lights are helpful cause if you don't have the LED or cold cathode's, it's pretty dark up there. If all else fails, just search eBay for any used rear view mirror that you could possibly retrofit.
