Info on replacing mirror in W215

Well, I recently had to replace my mirror. The homelink did not work, and it was a feature I wanted. I went on Ebay and searched, and found MANY that said were compatible with the W215. Well, I bought one, and guess what- the connectors were not the same. Darn. Well, thought I would try it anyway, just to see, and was surprised to find that not only did it work, I now have memory setting on the mirror ( a function deleted in '03 I think- mine is an '04). What I lost was the microphone, but since I didn't use it anyway, no big loss. I later discovered that it is possible to marry the old and new styles together, so you can have the memory function as well as the echo reducing microphones.

If you need to replace your mirror, first stop should be this WIKI page. It has tons of useful info, including part numbers, pictures, disassembly info, etc, that should make your job easier.
