Fitted at last, works great, quite mesmorising watching it darken and lighten to what ever is going on! Even the misses likes it and she is not a car person at all.

The easy way, after a day of messing around. (took a while to sus how to attach the mirror to the windscreen and keep a authentic manufactures fitted look.

1.The mirror it self is a toyota item, (£300) theres a guy on ebay selling these brand new! paid £70.

2. Everything arrives in the box,see pic on previous thread on this post.

3.(onlything you won't have is the part that attaches the mirror to the windscreen. you can't buy these! (Srapyard for fittment, you can actually use pretty much any! MOST ARE TWIST OR SLDE COUPLING) remove the seat one with heat and a small tug) Used a hairdyer. you are left with a windscreen with a black circle, ready for any mirror to be fitted!

4 Use 5min araldite to glue new attachment on the black circle and araldite the other mateing part onto the mirror, when dry clip the two parts together. run the attached wire up the tubing and wire into the interior light! (two wires one earth and one live).

To be honest using this method of attachment,(aralditing the two halfs, one to the mirror and one to the screen) you could use any auto mirror on the market, from any manufacturer! HOPE THIS HELPS, ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK .

Two wires, wired both to the interior light (red to live and blue to earth) the wire loom plugs into the mirror at the back via a normal car connector, similar to what connects into the interioir light itself and then routes up the stem into the roof lining!
