Auto Dimming mirror
i have a 2k max and wanted an auto dimming mirror for the car. Can i buy one from a 2002 i35 or an 01 i30 or a 5.5 gen max? would it be pretty much plug and play? does it matter that the mirror is from a car that is newer? also, if i can buy one of those mirrors do i need to buy the wiring harness for it? or where could i find the wires for it?

You can basically buy any mirror you want. It all depends on the mount, wiring, and features. The wiring is basic...power, ground, and temp. probe (if needed). All the features are within the mirror itself, and most of the time only need power and ground (no harness needed). Here is my setup...I had to wire power, ground, and run the temperature sensor.

Ok I did a little searching on freebay... this is what I found out. Any reason why this wouldn't be a good choice? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Auto-...48059573QQrdZ1
Actually now that I look at yours more closely MIXXMAX, yours appears to be quite similar to the one in the link i provided. Any chance they're the same?

Btw, if anyone wants an auto dimming mirror (with no compass) from my 2002, send me a PM. I'll let it go for cheap.

lol, yes you are....The tinted electronic mirror IS A HELLUVA LOT better than a plain mirror. Even with the tints, without the auto dim enabled if a big *** suv pulls up behind me the lights still annoy me.
