Default Re: Auto Dimming Mirror - it's not just for '04s anymore!

I have a mirror like this to install some time and no, its not from the NA.
180, I saw no real need for the reverse wire feature when I installed mine. I mean really, how often do you really use the interior mirror at night while backing up ?
At any rate, the visibility is sufficient without the reverse wire.
One thing, the B+ and ground connect to the harness before the little adapter harness ( tiny wires ) that connects to the HomeLink.
Another hint - use two wood wedges to make some space at the front of the fascia so the mirror wire does not have to kink up as you turn the mirror during mounting. Mine already had the little notch in the fascia and in the metal subframe for the mirror wire, guess they didn't change the parts after they dropped the mirror after 2004.

Anybody need a 2004 autodimmer ? I have a spare.
