Just ordered the mirror for this tonight, looking forward to retrofitting it in the car! Am I going to run into any trouble by no longer having the red alarm dome? I don't really like it anyways, but I want to make sure I don't have any coding issues because it is gone.

Did you get the FLA mirror and did you install?

I can make PNP harness for you if you want, but it´s very easy to to by yourself. You have to add 5AC to your VO.

I received the mirror. I did not get a chance to make the harness yet. I may need to disassemble the mirror and move some parts between it and my current mirror, since the FLA one did not include Homelink or the little red dome for the alarm (which I would have been happy to delete anyways). Before I do this, I'll probably X-Ray both mirrors to confirm that it can be swapped.
