They actually took an E55 mirror and my E63 mirror and made everything work, SOS, homelink, auto dim etc. My speaker and controls are also in the mirror i have no idea how they did it because i saw how little room is inside these mirror housings. These guys are electronic wizzards and they do these mirrors as a side thing from their daily work as software developers. The main V1 is in the headliner in a cover wrapped in alcantara behind the map lights. They dont do the full install but one of their guys did the complete job at my home on Saturday as a side job and it looks awesome.

Go for it you wont get a better job for less. If i get time this week I will post photos of the completed job. I will let all E63 and CLS 63 guys know that these guys are the ones to call for the job.
what shops didnt want to do it? i have a few friends that have had it done in nyc/long island/nj and no problems what so ever. did you try gus over at technik?

You should speak with Scott, his handle is RACE_MX. His work is unbelievably clean and his turn around time is super quick. I will be posting pictures of my mirror with the V1, plus how we install it.
