D2 auto dimming rear view mirror
Found an auto dimming mirror, which I bought with the intention of fitting at the same time as a solar sunroof, sitting in a box.
Part number is 4D2857511B EC3 so it's the platinum finish. It's a little grubby, but I've given the glass a quick clean with a damp tissue and the glass itself is clear and in good order. There are storage marks on the back of the mirror and some of the plastic is showing a little degredation, as is typical for the plastic trim in a D2. I suspect it might be possible to strip the front off to re-use the glass or just to mess about with as a project. Guess is depends how closely you examine the mirror you have now as to whether it's a better condition unit than you might have now?! Happy to take further pictures if anyone's interested. It will be posted well packaged in bubble wrap etc in a box. £20 plus postage at cost

If only it was Swing Grey. I wonder if the difference would matter...

A swing interior would normally come with platinum uppers.

I didn't know that, thanks MJ (now browsing to see how to swap!).
You will have a PM Adrian.

Physically swapping it is fairly simple, however the auto mirror has a bunch of extra wiring. It has power obviously, but from memory it also has switched ignition and illumination, so it only activates when the car is running with the lights on. Theoretically it should be possible to find these in the roof from the sunroof motor and switches but I haven't tried it myself - I've only retrofitted the entire harness as I was doing the side mirrors as well. The interior mirror has an output which drives the side mirrors.
I have a wiring diagram for it somewhere from when I retrofitted one... |

It probably has a feed from the reversing lights too, so that it "doesn't" dim when in reverse.
As my signature notes, I added one to my PF version and I'm pretty sure I didn't bother with that detail or wiring up for external mirrors. (And I did use the sunroof for power, I vaguely recall there's a circuit there that is live when the car is "on" and for a few seconds after in order to facilitate closing, though FL may differ) I don't think you need to be too clever as these units are pretty self-contained with their own light-level sensors forwards (day or night) and backwards (headlights).

Received today, thanks Adrian.
I don't think I'll be too bothered about a reverse feed either. My existing one already takes power and is switched for illumination with the headlights (has the ambient lighting already) so hopefully I can just take a feed from that within the mirror loom rather than taking it from somewhere else. Did the PF have the ambient lighting? Not sure when this started. Hopefully I'll find the time to fit it, might even get to use it too!
