Rear view mirror

[David]

Has anyone fitted a auto dim read view mirror into a 306?

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.

sweet...did all 406s have it??

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

I hang got a rain sensor.

[cully]

curtisy light has a live feed i believe wire it to that

[David]

True. What could I use on the back of it as the rain sensor has a tint to it?

[cully]

the black tint is like a black sticker of spots I'm guessing you could use black vinyl or a sun visor strip

[David]

Good idea batman

[Piggy]

is it diff fitting for the ph1??

[David]

is it diff fitting for the ph1??

Shouldn't be as You would just wire it to the centre light as I'm gunna do.

[Piggy]

yeh but the mounts look diff

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

[cwspellowe]

yeh but the mounts look diff

Use the ph1 mount then, just drill a small hole in the ball to feed the wires through

[Piggy]

ok....nice one....

I've thought about this and I'm gunna try it today if I can find the right drill bit and spare wire.

[Eeyore]

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!
