Rear view mirror - David - 27-12-2012
Has anyone fitted a auto dim read view mirror into a 306?
RE: Rear view mirror - cwspellowe - 27-12-2012
Yep, mines from a 406. All it needs is a 12v live and earth, there's a 3rd wire to switch off dimming when in reverse but I never bothered as it needs a feed from the reverse light.

have to admit...seems bit lazy though!

Ive got the same. Nice as it slides straight onto the windscreen with no modification and its slightly bigger than the standard 306 mirror

RE: Rear view mirror - David - 27-12-2012
I hang got a rain sensor.
RE: Rear view mirror - cully - 27-12-2012
curtisy light has a live feed i believe wire it to that
RE: Rear view mirror - David - 27-12-2012
True. What could I use on the back of it as the rain sensor has a tint to it?
RE: Rear view mirror - cully - 27-12-2012
the black tint is like a black sticker of spots I'm guessing you could use black vinyl or a sun visor strip
RE: Rear view mirror - David - 27-12-2012

Shouldn't be as You would just wire it to the centre light as I'm gunna do.
RE: Rear view mirror - Piggy - 27-12-2012
yeh but the mounts look diff
RE: Rear view mirror - ozonehostile - 28-12-2012
Ive been searching scrappies for ages for a peugeot auto dim mirror to no avail, thet seem to be the first thing to go off a car.
might have a look into a mercedes one as almost all mercs came with auto dim mirrors after 2001 if not earlier

Use the ph1 mount then, just drill a small hole in the ball to feed the wires through
RE: Rear view mirror - Piggy - 28-12-2012

I've thought about this and I'm gunna try it today if I can find the right drill bit and spare wire.
RE: Rear view mirror - Eeyore - 28-12-2012
as all the others have said. I have fitted both a C5 and a 406 mirror. The 406 is a bit too wide and may catch the sun visors. C5 one is the way forwards!
