e30klassic · 04-24-2007, 12:35 PM

Finish retrofitting my rearview mirror with autodim and homelink since i did not pay for premiun package.
Mirror works great, i'll post a detail DIY with pics when i get some time off work.

toughluck · 04-24-2007, 12:47 PM

Great!

I am looking forward to doing the same in several months.

Arrowhead · 04-24-2007, 12:56 PM

Great job, can't wait to see the DIY pics cuz I am thinking that too.

Brunotheboxer · 04-24-2007, 01:11 PM

i'm sure your diy will be very useful.

xdrive · 04-24-2007, 01:12 PM

That would be awesome! PLEASE take good pics

I wonder if there is a DIY auto folding mirror???

Crazy Bimmer · 04-24-2007, 01:12 PM

Yes! Can you list part numbers an how much they were also?

Eggroll · 04-24-2007, 01:42 PM

wow... nice.. lots thanks...

e30klassic · 04-24-2007, 01:51 PM

Yeah i was regretful of not getting that package. After careful search from this & other forums on the web, most of the info and pics are wrong so i decided to take the matter to my own hand.
Overall, all i need for parts is the Mirror itself, mini connector and a electric wire(about 10").

I mess up a few thing trying to follow the instructions i found. (learned the hardway) I'll post the correct & very way to this..........Stand By.
