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.

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

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

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

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

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!
