All - need some advice on the differences. I'm new to the site and have an x3 on the way. I've opted for the compass mirror vs the homeline. Is there a difference? Can one have both? What would it take/cost to upgrade from one to the other?

Would appreciate any info. :dunno:

I recently had the rearview mirror w/compass and universal transceiver and I love it. 3 garage doors all programmed in no time. I'm sure you could hook up any homelink items just as easy.
