I'm interested but curious about whats required for install.
I have a pre-lci mirror with the manual dimming switch.
Did your car come with the auto dimming mirror or did you retrofit it?

thanks

My car came with the auto dimming mirror, the install was very easy it took me less than 5min to switch mirrors.

From what I understand with just auto dim you don't have to run any extra wiring, I know I've read on here that some people who have switched to mirrors with compass etc. have had to run a new wire harness that is available oem.

It'll need additional retrofit wiring for basic mirror ... I think OEM accessories catalog also mentioned it.

The basic mirror only has 2 wires for the alarm blinking LED while the auto-dim mirror will need another 2 "+" & "-" to power other additional feature(s) such that auto-dim itself, Homelink remote and/or digital compass (at least) ... that's why you already set and no different when upgrading to the one w/ compass 'cuz all it needs is power lead.

GLWS OP!
