Installing external temperature sensor

Hi there, I'm very happy with my 320CE but it doesn't have the external temperature option. What should I get to install it? just the front sensor and a ****pit with the screen? is there any other module or device needed?

Thanks.

My advice is to get one of those rear view mirrors with auto dimming sensing and has compass and thernometer, have one in my explorer and love it.

this is a generic one, they have them fancyer and some designed for specific cars, but this is the one I have in my explorer still works well after the 4 years I've had it:

thanks for the info.
I've read the installations instructions and I should do the same as installing it in the original cokpit screen, but with the added trouble of changing the mirror. So I prefer mounting the original MB sensor. Anyone could give information about the elements needed? just the sensor, wiring and cokpit?
