I haven't heard a peep from dagr8tsthustla. So instead I went out and bought a GPS unit for my Ipaq. Works ok...and better than just a compass.
Next car I guess NAV is no longer an option for me...not like I think I will use it everyday...but nice to have just in case.

It works ok...not the best out there but the next one up I think is $199.00. I do not plan on using it all that often so for the price you can't beat it. I couldn't get the GPS to work indoors like my old Garmin GPS but it worked pretty good outdoors and in the car. Here is a linkk to the discussion and review of the GPS:

This is something that I've always wanted. I don't have Navi and I'm not the greatest with directions. But I always want to know the direction that I'm travelling in........especially when I'm not sure whether I'm lost or not (LOL) in an unfamiliar place. Well, if I knew which direction I was heading, it would make me feel better.
Anyway, I think the GS430s have a mirror with a compass. Can this mirror be swapped into a GS400? This would be something I would definitely want to do.
Btw, sorry to bring this back from the dead. Since this discussion already exist, I didn't want to start a new thread.
Thx.

One of the members from the ES forum installed the auto-dim/compass/garage control mirror to his '96 ES (the stock mirror was just a basic mirror). The upgraded mirror is actually the OEM mirror for the G35/350Z. So this proves that you can use featured mirrors from non-Lexus vehicles to your GS.

but don't ask me where i got mine, it was one of a time thing, and it's not cheap to get it new

Got mine from (www.sportsimportsltd.com). Easy install, even easyier if your oem rear view mirror already has the dimming function, just connect the red/blk to the new mirror and play. Mine has compass and auto dimming, install was year ago and still works fine. Took 10 min to install.

the install and stuff is easy, it's just the price of the part itself that's hard to deal with
