    hi

    i have a mirror off another car that has auto dimming electronics, it
    would fit the mirror casing of my s80, it only needs a 12v supply and
    ground to make it work,

    but i see there is a plug into my mirror, as it has seat belt warning
    lamps in it. i also noticed that it has some electronics in there as
    well. but my mirror has only a lever for dimming.

    if i could get the mirror glass out maybe fit my auto dim glass if i
    could find 12v source. but i cannot seem to get into the mirror
    casing.
    any help welcome.

    The mirrors can not be interchanged from car to car as the mirror is the
    upper electronic module this is where the remote codes are stored & each
    is unique for each car it will mount up no problem the plugs are the
    same but you will create a whole set of problems with the electronics of
    your car there is a slim chance that some or all of the modules that
    rely on the UEM will not work or let the smoke out of a control module
