Retrofit auto-dim rearview to 09 9-5 Est

Hi guys,

Just got my hands on an auto dim rearview mirror for my 09 9-5 Turbo Edition est. Before I go wiring it into a power source does anyone know if these models were fitted with the plug socket for the mirror in the roof area? I have had a fiddle around and I cannot find anything.

Any ideas and also any idea where to look for it?

Ta.

"Best idea is don't do it. Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but having had both auto and manual dimming on recent 9-5 Aeros manual wins hands down. With the auto there are times when it barely seems to make any difference at all."

Have the auto dimming mirror on my 9-5 and it works well and responds quickly, possibly yours is faulty?

To fit you just need power supply and earth, ignition switched supply for preference. If you have a sunroof you could pick up a supply there or one of the roof lights? I doubt if the mirror draws much current.

I have seen the instructions that Platanoff posted on another forum, but was hoping to find a connector. Guessing it may not have one. Despite late 09/early 10 TID's having them pre-fitted mine has not but I was kinda hoping the wiring might already be there so it looks like another wiring job.
