GUIDE: Electric Dimming Rear View Mirror
#5
Thought id add my experience to this.... ITS SO EASY! It took literally 15 minutes and most of that was spent looking for the soldering iron! I had a little practice removing and fitting the mirrors on the 1.4 in case i did it wrong and smashed the screen but it wont go wrong if youre patient and wingle it from side to side! Do what cully does in those videos as theyre spot on!

So this is the rain detector loom so you want brown pin 3 and yellow pin 7...

and then i found that it wont fit over the detector if unless you cut out that rather large tab. A few seconds with mr Dremel fixed that!

wired, soldered and heat shrink done...

And for the record the C5 mirrors are about £40 on ebay but cully gave me a heads up for one for £19 delivered! If the mirror doesnt come with the car side loom ask the seller if they can include that as it makes life a lot more easy!
