The lack of an auto-dim mirror on my 1998 PF S8 has always niggled!

I've even upgraded my similar-vintage Ford Focus with one which is nice; it was pretty easy - just needed to run a longish single wire to find a suitable switched 12V supply - took earth from the interior light.
(took 12V from the night-lighting connector on the back of the radio in the end as it was easy to identify and access)

It works great - my pre-facelift A8 4,2 QS had auto dim rearview mirror, however, my pre-facelift S8 didn't. I ran my feed direct from terminal 15 (via the fue / relay panel in the passenger side).
