Auto Dimming Mirror Fitment
21. Aug 2006 at 10:48

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

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 Angry

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....

Facelift Auto Dim Connector:

Connection Socket on '95 Dimming Mirror:

Loom Connection from '95 Elite:

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

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

Aug 2006 at 11:29 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.
