I added the Honda accessory autodimming rearview mirror with compass to my '07 and my '10. The '14 SE came with one. The mirror in your Amazon link won't work - you need a "camlock" version instead of a "wedge" version. You'll also need to cut/splice wires if you use an aftermarket mirror.

In short, there are some unknowns and risks with using an aftermarket mirror, although it's less than half the price of the Honda version. Personally, I was willing to pay more for one that was guaranteed to fit and was truly plug-and-play.
Got mine on eBay. Gentex Auto-Dim, Compass with color choice, Homelink and it came with the proper wire harness. The wires on my RTS were tucked to one side and it was a simple install. Search 'auto dimming' in the search box above.
Seller was sales-at-dnd-enterprises and they are good to communicate with.

they offer a camlock version as well. i have no issues cutting and splicing. i installed car audio for years. adding remote start to my truck in a week or so.
I have a compass / temperature / auto dim mirror. I got it for christmas, but I have yet to instal it but I am pretty excited to.
