The switched connectors all switch together, 12V normally, dropping to around 1V if any door is opened. Ignition/lights have no effect.
So no use for the mirror.

The sunroof motor is more promising however; bit tricky to disconnect due to lack of space.
Fat Red/white = 12V
Purple/black also 12V
Fat Brown = 0V
Red/yellow = 12V when ignition is on (with a retaining delay I think), 0V when doors are locked.

I don't want to disturb the "fat" heavy-duty cables to the sunroof, so I'll probably take 12V from the sunroof red/yellow and 0V from a screw (there's a couple of suitable holes in metal that test OK) or the lights (brown) using the dreaded Scotchlok's.

No doubt some of you perfectionists will be squirming in your seats now.
