Hello

I'm wondering if someone can help with swapping the oem anti-glare rear view mirror with the UGDO and compass equipped rear view mirror.

A dealership in Canada indicated that the 530i is not prewired to do this but can the new mirror not just use the power that was used for the old mirror? Can anyone help with instructions on how to change the mirrors?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks so much for the pointer. Sorry I didn't think about using the search function but I'm new to the forum and website. It's has really been great to read about all the DIY projects but the only bad thing is that it's giving me more ideas. Now that I know this mirror swap is possible, I'm going to start looking for the mirror.
