I'm wanting to retrofit an auto dimming mirror with Homelink into Babs Clubster. She had one in her Subaru & misses it. Does anyone know if this swap out is doable. I will be using the MINI part. Guess what I need to know is the wiring there & is the mount the same?
There's information in this NAM thread: Retrofitting the factory self dimming rearview mirror + Homelink Summary: The mount is the same but there is no prewiring. However, there is a power line even in a plain stock mirror, for the remote lock receiver. Open up the mirror and wire power to the dim and Homelink circuits. The difference from OEM will be that the power is always on instead of switched, and the OEM turns off dimming when the transmission is in reverse.
Thanks that is what I am looking for. Funny I had posted in that tread, but had forgoten about my past life on the sewing site. :wink:
