At the moment I have a mirror in position but not wired in which would be nice to have I have the connector and a piece of loom to the back of the mirror and I also have the connector which goes to the seat.

I've started to make the full loom but its proving time consuming and the fact that there are more cables at one end to the other.

It would be nice to have them wired to the seat but it seems a right PITA to do.

Is there a guide for doing the easy fitment or could someone tell me the method of fitting.

Cheers
Roy

I've only wired mine in for dipping, so 4 wires (3 of which are up by courtesy anyway) - I guess you want the full memory stuff as well....

It would be nice but to be honest I would be happy just to have the thing working, I may just carry on with recreating the loom, but have been thinking is it really worth it.

TheBoy i didn't know you had got your hands on one. How effective is it?

Which wires do you need for the easy install.

sorry to hi-jack the thread, but i just tryed installed the Auto Dimming mirror from the '95 Elite into my facelift, the loom connector seams differnt  >:(

I took the courtsey light out and found 2 spare connectors, 1 small 4 pin one (microphone for car kit?) and another larger one which is similar to '95 Elites but not quite....

Whe loom from the '95 elite seams to have loads more wires!!  :-/

Tunnie, you're facelift won't have the loom, only cars with memory seats do.

Damn, so whats that big fat connector for?

The connector you have looks like a sunroof connector but I think you have a sunroof so cant be that.

Roy, You need a switched live, and 0v and a courtsey light on feed (all from courtsey light unit), and a reverse signal from passenger kick panel.

Haven't really tried it, as it has been light in evenings. Tunnie drove it last night, so he may be able to comment...

Seamed very good, thats why I had a go at fitting one in mine. The mirror seamed to go 'blue'?? - It did make a differnce, well worth while if you have the loom connectors and the dimming mirror

When I tested it using torches and black tape over sensors, it seemed to be effective, giving a deep green tint to anything bright behind...

Yeah thats what it looked like last night, very good.

As you said before i only need a switched live, 0v (earth?) and a courtesy light feed, can i not get all that from the sun roof loom? - As i don't need that!  ;)

You can get all from courtsey light, just splice onto it. Reverse feed (which I haven't done yet) from passenger kick panel.

You maybe able to modify this using the live and earth for the mirror its just a case of knowing which is which on the loom part.

I am quite fortunate as I have 2 at the moment one came with my seats and the other I got from a car someone was breaking in Luton. Not sure if either work yet but if one works then I will be happy.

But no gain, as all (except reverse) available from courtesy light....

Sounds simple enough!  :)

Do you think we might annoy the people across the road from you with 4 Omegas blocking their drive?  ;D

From what I remember your drive looked pretty big or is it shared.  :)

Can someone tell me what wires go to where using the loom

Cheers
Roy

Sorry, no idea if using the memory functions - you'd need to look up on a wiring diagram.

Sorry being vague again basically like Tunnie I have a piece of loom with the connector in and would like to just wire this into the roof to get the mirror working.

So like me you just want it to work at night? - No memory seat options. (pointless for me as i don't have memory ones)

Then basically nixoro you will have the same setup as me, i too have the loom connector for the dimming mirror from the '95 elite.

Using that, as TheBoy says you can splice into the a live feed off the courtsey light & a reverse feed to earth it.

If you can hang on a few days I am sure I will get my fitted with the help of TheBoy, i'll then post up pictures of which wire goes where!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yeah, I can give you a hand to do tunnie, we'll take some piccies for nixoro and post in how2.

Won't be for a few days as I may be busy on something else  :-X

Cheers Tunnie and Theboy  :)

It would be much appreciated

Had the mirror fitted for a while now but not managed to get it wired in.

And you've got no option to manually dip it as well :(. Nor a blind (which cuts down on dazzle from behind) :(.  

We'll try and get a how2 posted either at weekend or next week, as I'm busy on something else this week.

Its not all bad i was lucky to get a rear shelf with the blind in I'm sure it was in when i came over, maybe not though.

I usually put this up to kill the glare lol ;D
