Can that perhaps be enabled?
you are looking at a picture from W222

I'm going to open it up again and see if i messed up somehow (i don't see how, you can't switch plugs as they're all different).
Maybe i'll test the mirror with a AA battery (1.5V should be safe).

Well i found the problem: my door module does not have the 2 pins for the electrochromic mirrors


Passenger door module. The bottom 2 pins of the black connector are wires for electrochromic mirror but there are no corresponding pins in the door module.

Partnumber of the doormodule without electrochromic mirror pins

Well i did find a passenger door module on eBay with partnumber A2219001101 that does have all the pins of that connector populated.
I'm going to order it and see if anything works with that module.
Running a wire from left door to right door isn't really a viable option afaic.

ah.... so maybe if you have a loaded car with heated vented seats and soft close you automatically get the decent door modules ???

UPDATE: it works!

I bought another module from eBay with number A2219001101.
Installed it (pretty easy) and everything works out of the box, without coding (YMMV).
Wonderful. Thank you @BOTUS for insisting that it works.
