They are your current mirror wires, and goes into the KGM behind the glovebox. I did it this way when retrofitting puddle lights.

I am planning on doing this retrofit, but I do not have auto dim interior mirror ie. (no S431A). Is there a DIY/retrofit guide for S431A. My prod is 03/07. Please.

Sorry for bugging, but finally found that it is already included in the DIY at the last page with some pushing from AWT. Thanks AWT and BlooD will post update once I start with the mod.

Ok guys once you have done the retrofit and coding for that the passenger kerb function to work you need to have the mirror switch on the left side otherwise wont work!

puddle lights works was cause i forgot to use expert profile!

Finally did the folding mirrors retrofit also coded KGM for comfort folding with remote. All work. yayyy
Still have to finish up the auto dimming interior and exterior mirror. My mirror do not have a voltage supply to it so I have to connect pin 3 in addition to pin 4 and 5 also have to probably connect pin 1 to light module for reverse detection. First have to figure out the pin 3 anyways.
One very important thing I would like to mention is that the door trim on LCi is extremely difficult to get off, at point I thought I will be breaking of the trim. Finally figured that once the screws were off start to unclip from the side of the door hinge, otherwise it is practically impossible to get it off.
If you do not want to replace the switch panel as well, I think you do not even need to take the entire trim piece off. Just unclip the side on the hinge then try unclipping the top side, then you should be able to pull out the door frame trim piece and unbolt the mirror.

Does the auto fold work without the auto dim interior mirror? Did you just code in 430/431 without having the necessary hardware?
