Default Rear View Mirror with Compass

Does anyone know where I can get an interior rear view mirror (with a compass) compatible with my car (Audi S6, 2001)?

I've looked at the Donnelly website but it didn't help.

I've searched already, but didn't quite find the answer I was looking for.

Thanks in advance.

I have it in my car. I guess, it is a part of premium package. Your Audi dealer should be able to get it for you.

I just realized that I have a picture of it. Is this the one you are looking for?

I used to work for Donnelly before Magna acquired them. Gentex may be a better source. Also, do a google search for "mirror + compass". Another option, try a salvage yard. There are some that specialize in Audi.

it is plug-n-play, and you can usually find them on eBay (just make sure it is OEM). If you find one from a B6 A4/S4, it will also fit in the C5 A6.

I second Boston Driver: Check out eBay. They go for about 100-150 bucks for a used OEM one.
Just last month I got one for my C5 A6. It came out of a S4 that was totalled. Plugs in like butter

Finally installed my new mirror. It had that 'C' visible for about 200 km. I only read about what it meant this morning - Calibrate. For anyone who is searching. Here is how to calibrate it.

I am not in the US, but fortunately it seems reasonably correct without having to set the zone number.

BTW, this is a 2002 mirror in a 2001 car. As RedShoeRider said, 150 bucks OEM posted. Fits like butter

Thanks for the help guys.

Did you have to have a compass mirror before? Or can you just plug one in?

I only had an auto dimming mirror before, which I replaced with the compass auto dimming mirror. Same connections. Same part number on the connections.
