Attempting to add temp and compass to '10 XL
Has anyone done this? I've read on here that most of the wiring harness are in the vehicle and usually it just takes the last remaining parts. I can verify that the temperature probe loom is under the hood but needs the probe. I am curious about the headliner loom. Is it just hiding there and needs the compass that connects to the mirror or is it a big deal to add that?
Thanks in advance!

I have an '09 XL, and after doing some searching, the harnesses may be there, but the sensor for the temp isn't. I ended up going and getting a new rearview mirror with temp, compass, and homelink integrated. Then it was just a matter of running the wiring, which if you've done a stereo, you can handle. It just requires power and running the wiring for the temp probe.
The model I got was a Gentex 313. It's a couple of years old, but you can find them all over the place on ebay. You can check my gallery for some pics. It's a little 'bulky', but otherwise looks factory. Mine even fit over the 'slug' on the windshield, so I didn't have to mess with epoxying a new one.
