Must… get… Auto-dimming mirror… help.

I ordered a auto-dimming mirror from Taobao.com for RMB800 and install it successfully.
You have to dismantle the top light panel to connect a cable there and also get power from fuse box. It's not too difficult I would say.

Fantastic news!!
Did you order the cable and connector separately or did it come with the mirror?
This is awesome thanks for going first!

It comes with the correct cable and connector. The connector has 4 cables attached, one connects to the light unit on the top, one to fuse box, one to ground and one to parking.
I didn't connect it to the parking light which supposes to disable the dim function when reversing. It is too complicated to connect it that way and that function is not necessary to me.

I bought it from Taobao for RMB800 + 50 for shipping (I'm in HK), so that's roughly US$140.
I find other seller providing larger mirror as well, with about US$20-30 more. From their description I suppose it should work too but I haven't contacted them for details. To me, the original mirror is large enough so i didn't go for that.
