Guess I forgot to post my results...
The dealer quoted me 30 bucks for one installed at the dealer.
Still not many compasses to choose from here so i am still without one. At this rate I may end up in a Patriot. Kinda on the fence now since those are trail rated and in 10 years I could rebuild it into an offroad machine.
We'll see what happens. Just hope my '99 Ford POS keeps rollin.
