So i got a I30 dimming mirror today.... im assuming there needs to be some sensor mounted somewhere??

the write up shows one... but this mirror has a sensor built in..

Need some clarification guys...

 

Nothing extra is needed. Sensors are integrated into the front and back of the mirror. You just need a power and ground.

 

Yea i know the sensors are there.. but there is 4 wires running to it... and the fsm doesnt show any electrical diagram for it...

 

somewhere out there is my awesome mirror installation write-up, but since the recent reload of the org my link does not work. perhaps someone with search capabilities can find it for you.

 

I too would be interested in finding this out.
Thanks

 

the gist of it is that two of the wires are +12 and ground and the other two connect to the interior illumination variable brightness switch. my write-up explains what is what.

 

Red and blue is power. Black and green is ground. I hooked the black and green together and went to chassis ground. I connected red and blue to headlight power (any power point that gives you 12v with lights on). FunLovinMaxima's write up was a little different but the basics are the same. It is a GREAT write up, very detailed. It was just before the site went down if you can find it.

 

sweet.. as soon as i get home im gonna try it.. thanks much



just hooked it up.. it works pretty cool


thanks guys...
