Yes, the yanks are good like that. Mine came with about 3 feet of harness, and a cover that I didn't end up using.
The compass ones also have the magnetic sensor in the body section where it fits onto the windscreen mount, hidden under a larger plastic housing that clips over the mount. Depending on the car it came from, some even have a massive housing section on the mount, covering other things like rain sensors.
The GNTX177 is one of the more common mirrors with a compass in it, but I have found 2 variations in the housing around the mount. It hides additional circuitry and a magnetic sensor for the compass.
Some have this additional "lump" located below the actual mount, others are to the side. I got 2 mirrors sent over - one of each (post was something like $2 more for the extra one). In the FG, I found the side-mounted one to hide behind the black windscreen masking a lot better, but it fouled where my dashcam is mounted. I ended up using the one with the sensor housing below the mount, and about 3-4mm of the body of the housing is exposed below the black mask of the windscreen. I doubt anyone would notice, but I know it's there....
This is an example of the "beside" sensor in the housing around the mount:

And this thread shows the mirror with the sensor below the mount, like what I have:
