Default compass on inside rear view mirror

hi all, i just realized my 2011 F-Sport doesn't have the compass on the inside rear view mirror. For those with the 2011 non-F-Sport, do you have the compass? I'm just curious if Lexus got rid of it altogether. If it's absent only on the F-Sport package, i wonder why

ps. off topic, looks like they changed the lens cover on the courtesy door lamp too, my '11 F-sport has the clear lens now

I believe it's standard, there's a little compass symbol on your mirror; make sure it's on.

The compass in the mirror is on all 2010 and up Lexus models without navigation. For the models with Nav, the compass is no longer included. I guess that figure if you have Nav, you can tell which direction your headed.

The rearview mirrors used in the various Lexus models are Gentex brand and generally easy to get.

Fascinating. Good to know.

The newer rear view mirrors are indeed Gentex.
