I removed the compass/glass from an '08, removed the 315mhz module as well and installed the '05 one. Moved a self dimming glass into a non self dimming mirror (wife's MINI), still have to wire it, although she doesn't even notice, the glass has a good tint.
I took a few notes, but didn't take pictures. I still have parts, including the home link module from a mirror, a 07+ 315mhz module for the remote, glass and frame. I can take and upload pictures you may want to see.

I didn't expect to start any modification, or even split the mirror open, but here are some highlights: I removed the compass/glass from an '08, removed the 315mhz module as well and installed the '05 one.

I left the **** on my wife's mirror in place, even though it is not used.
There is a ring that houses a ball and socket pint (which allows you to adjust the mirror when it's mounted) that (a) i didn't need to remove and (b) was impossible to reinstall. All the wiring harnesses can be pulled through that hole.
I will take pictures of the spares this evening.
I love the compass, too. The orange is the same as the gauges and no identifying square around it, (like some Toyota mirrors).
Being able to remove the 315Mhz module (for remote) may make it easy to install an aftermarket self dimming. I actually have one that was selling, from a Infinity Q37x.
