I am trying to investigate if my 2002 SLK32 has been wired to accept an auto dimming external side rear view mirror.
Is there any way you can tell from my VIN?
VIN = WDB1680322J338531

I’ve just replaced my interior mirror – fantastic! The auto dimming is brilliant.
I’m hoping I can buy a new RHand side auto dimming mirror glass and even though the car may not have originally come with a “heated” and/or “auto dimming” mirror, if I buy one it will simply plug in…
I’m also assuming it picks up its dim “command” form the interior one (if you can find out - ??).

Now if anyone is cluey enough to scruitinise the electrical diagrams....it may very well tell the story....

I do know that the internal auto-dim mirror has NO outputs, and only uses 12v and ground to work. The forward and rear light sensors are in the mirror itself.
