Auto blinking mirrors!!!

I want to install the auto blinking mirrors on my coupe, it's possible to change it only changing the glass and not the intire mirror??

And what about the rear view mirror, can I change it too, it's easy or what???

I have electric mirrors, electric driver seat and steering colum with memory also with right mirror parking help, rain sensor.

Can I change all to the auto blinking one's??

Thanks

Do you mean "auto dimming"? You can but you will need to run additional wiring, possibly some connectors, etc. You will need the inside one to control the outside ones. Please use the feature as this has already been discussed.

i believe in some countries, the mirrors don't have the blinkers installed on them so I think that's what he is talking about.

Since he even is talking about his inside mirror and considering that english is not his native tongue I will disagree with that assessment.

he IS talking about an auto dimming mirror (not standard equipment in europe)...

The interior rearview mirror has the sensors for the auto dimming feature so you will have to start adding that one when you want to get a dimming driverside mirrorglass.

Then you need to change the glass in your driverside mirror BUT as your mirrors does not have the proper connector for the dimming feature you will have to order a different driverside mirror as well (or try to find the connector in which case I wish you good luck although I do know that there are a few forummembers here with left over non power folding mirrors) and you will have to get the dimming mirror feature version coded at MB with stardiag...

greetingz,

Anything is possible. All you have to have is money and the mirror from RHD drive vehicles like the UK. Happy moding/searching.

Put a dark piece of tape over the sensor so it can't respond to a light input.
