2004 E320
After Market Compass

I'm surprised that the 2004 E320 didn't come with a compass incorporated in the rear view mirrors like many others. Does anyone know of any after market compasses that look good? Thanks...

If you have NAV, there is a compass display in the instrument cluster you can pull up. If not, Mercedes did produce rearview mirrors with compass displays - check eBay and wrecking yards.

I just picked up our 211 last Friday (so I'm hesitant to start saying stupid stuff so soon) and I love the Nav page in the multi-function display which displays direction of travel and name of street, as long as the HU is on (which it always is when I'm in the car). That's enough of a compass for me.

It IS a compass. It also gives you a Compass heading... So as Billy Joel says..."its more than a compass to me..."
