Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector

Post by iichel »

Hi all,

I'm planning on retro-fitting the auto dimming the mirror on a 'normal' windshield. A foto report will follow this weekend.

I bought this one:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-Orig ... 82272.html

The guide I'll be using is ciclo's guide for the wire fitting.

One question:
The set comes without connectors to the BCM.
The wiring is not so difficult, T6/3 to T73b/48 (manual transmission reverse signal) and T3/3 to T73b/24 (LIN bus), both BCM white.

Does anyone know what connectors to use for this?

Thanks!

Dimming mirror works
Light sensor still has to be connected to the BCM

iichel, how hard was it to take off the stock mirror clamp which was glued to the windshield? What chemical/solution did you use to take it off the windshield?

I haven't made photos of wiring process, sorry. I think the most important part is the sensor retrofit

You'll really want to move to P1200 wet and then P2000 wet ultimately, then use a glass polish to smooth the edges and give a good clear finish if you want to be able to use the rain sensor

I tried it with a bottle of water and it was responding to the water. Pretty much like OEM :P
No but you might have a point. I'll order some P1200 and P2000 and see if I can get it a bit better and report results.

Nice :) Its all about the finish haha

Brasso is good for smoothing out the scratches once they are fine enough
