Default Rear view mirror question

Has anyone replaced their factory rear view mirror with an auto dimming one? I want one with out the compass and was wondering if anyone makes one.

I hope to adapt another GM mirror at some point. Low on the list of things to do however.

You'd lose your map lights unless you find one with map lights built in like the factory mirror.

Yeah, I want one for mines too, not too high on the list but definitely a priority once I do everything I want to do to the car. The stocker on the '98-'00 cars is huge and bulky but has no features except map lights. I hate it. You can pull the auto-dimming ones out of GM trucks and other vehicles I'm sure, but I also heard that this company "Gentex" makes good ones for our cars too.

Here is a thread I found on the installation if this is of any help to you. It can be done.
