Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector
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!

Re: Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector

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

Re: Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector
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?

You're absolutely right. Hopefully this will not happen again..., never again.Mart!n-GTI-DK wrote:es-polos.net

Please find the report here

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

Re: Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector
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

Re: Installation auto dimming mirror + BCM connector
I tried it with a bottle of water and it was responding to the water. Pretty much like OEMalexperkins wrote: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
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.
