Id like to add to this tutorial. Today me and Ned went to the scrap yard and got a autodimming mirror from a 406. It was off a high spec 406 with electric seats and all so you wont find one on any of the lesser models. Its much wider than the C5 one so catches on the sun visors when straight however when adjusted to the position needed for driving it clears the visors by a few mm's. It also has exactly the same mount as the 306 so there is no cutting or trimming needed!
Its the same as the C5 one. Pin 3 and 7 on the rain detector. And on the mirror the you want Pin 1 (yellow with green bands) and Pin 2 (grey not orange as on the C5).

So...
406 Car side plug
Pin1 - Green/yellow
Pin2 - Grey
*Pin 3 is presumeably for reversing to lighten the mirror for a better view*
too
Rain sensor
pin 7 ground - Green/Yellow
pin 3 ign sw +12v - Brown

best bit? We got sill protectors and window switches and it all came to £5! Much cheaper than buying one off ebay!
