Question mirror compass

i have a 97 limited 4runner and it does not have a compass and temp display in the rearview mirror. i was wondering if any later years of the third gens had this feature so i could possibly just switch them? i really like the look of them and am always getting lost so i need one. i have seen the Wayfinder products that have a small unit that displays the info but i like the factory look in the mirror. thanks

i looked into this too, you just have to buy a "button" and glue it to the window, then the wires will run up into the hole from the stock mirror. Anyone find a good mirror to buy? All the ones I have looked at are huge compared to the stock one, like 1-2 inches bigger. Just dont know if it would look out of place, certainly would be something to get used to
