Not cheap, common in the US, try searching on "gentex mirror". Auto
dipping, which I actually quite like and works very well. I never got
on with the mechanical "adjust the angle" thing. You dip it then
forget undip it and think there is nothing behind. The auto dipping
just works without you noticing.
The compass is OK, it did confirm that I really was driving in circles
one stormy night after a tree had blocked the road and I was trying to
get over the fells between Teesdale to Weardale... Pity that LR, in
their infinite wisdom, don't include the external temeprature feature.
The sensor is available as a spare from a place in the US but I don't
know if the electronics to support that are in LR mirrors. The display
has the required segments and symbols.
Lots of cars have 'em now, you might be able to source from the after
market in the UK for £100 to £200...
