I would really like to know this too. Would love to upgrade my mirror.
Also, what models did the auto-dimming mirror come in?
Quick question: is the auto dimming mirror plug and play?
I have now the mirror with the big 0-1 knob underneath it. If I remove it, should there be a plug for the auto dimming one?
thx!

Hi,
My 540 and a 530 of a friend have it. I don't know other models.
The only thing you need for the auto dimming mirror is a connection from the battery. I think if you remoy yours you'll be able to see if you have it. If not, you have the power from the inerior lights vey near.
Good luck,
Jose

Try searching this board for auto dimming mirror... There's loads of info.
Ive got one on my 9/88 535i.
The light sensor doesn't work though.

Pull the cover for the sunroof controls and look for a connector above the passenger side. You probably need to do a search. There's different dimming mirrors and I think there's different connectors. However, if you have power you should be able to rig it up to work. Again do a search there's been discussions about this before.

I got a mirror from a wrecked 740i. The plug is hidden up in the headliner behind one of the visors. It was on the LHS on my car. You may need to pull out the vanity lights to get to the plug. The mirror i bought did not have the plug on it, so I just found the earth wire and the source and connected them to the mirror wires. Took about 10 minutes and works fine!
I've removed the clips from my current mirror (without auto dimming), and there are goiing wires inside.. Anyone know why?
