Thanks AWT. enabling autodim would be second cycle. So I can just swap the mirror and get the car coded to have folding mirrors?
So in order to have auto dimming I would need to replace my rear view mirror inside and do some additional wiring for that and get coded? correct? How difficult is it to have it wired up? is there a DIY? I also have alarm so need auto dim rear mirror with led.

Here is BLooDs DIY for doing this. You can skip the part about the wing mirrors since thats already OK.
Since this option only is available with auto dim feature, you also need auto dim wing mirrors (you don't need the mirror glass itself if you don't want to pay that much).
You also need the switch for this.

I was looking for DIY for the rear view mirror retrofit for autodim, thanks I got the one for the side/wing mirror. I am planning on ordering the wing mirrors soon.

As mentioned I don't have auto dim interior/rear mirrors, but, do have light package. I plan on doing the retrofit later. I would love to have the folding first, and the folding mirrors that I am planning on getting that has auto dim, folding and lights. Will it work?
Also is there a retrofit/diy guide for the rear/interior mirror auto dim.

Sorry my bad. Read detailed through first few pages and skipped the rest. 
. Thanks a lot AWT. And thanks BlooD for the DIY. Hopefully I can take out my mirror without breaking the glass.

Waiting for my interior auto dim mirror, in the mean time opened my mirror today, saw that there is only two wires in there, guess they are for my clown nose, alarm led. Do I need to do any additional wiring other than the two wires mentioned in the DIY?
