Does anyone know how to install this and rewire it?

Wow that is cool I would be interested in finding out more about one of these... Hopefully someone has added one and will jump in and let us know!

you will need the temp sensor at the least...

I've already got one, pretty cool when your traveling in the winter and you can watch the temp outside .

Would the temp sensor be part of this unit?

I have the mirror that has this, which I think is better - easier to see down a bit I think.

I installed the overhead console, I got it from ebay, the compass part works fine but the temperature is way off ( about 55 degrees less), I bought the Gentex sensor and obviousely it's different than the one nissan put with this console. I tried to look it up on parts websites but it's not listed, does anyone know the part number for the outside temperature sensor?

I have a 05 X and am looking to do the same thing you did. But unfortunately I can not see your ebay item anymore. Can you post a pic. of it and let me know how everything turned out with ours. Thanks
