Default Someone STOLE my backup camera

AND they also stole the rearview mirror that had the backup screen. I'm looking at $1,700 to replace all this and it doesn't seem worth it for the small picture the mirrors screen gave me. My question is canI just buy a rearview mirror with the temp and compass (which the original backup mirror had) and hook it up to the original wiring and have the temp and compass work? I'm just going tobotch the backup camera set up if I can get the compass and temp ina regular Hummer mirror. Does anyone know if that will work?
Thanks!
Danny

Get the dealer estimate and collect the check and then buy the parts from gmpartshouse.com.

You didn't mention any other damage or theft. How did they get into the Hummer?

I cant imagine they were just going for the camera, I bet they were after more but ran out of time...
