Retrofitting Auto-Dim Rear Mirror help?

Hey Ya'll!

For those who didn't get the premium and or ultimate package, you know that the rear view mirror is just basic and standard.

Currently I am about to get my hands on a mirror that is out of a 2013 M6 which includes the compass, homelink, and of course, the auto-dim feature.

Question, is that i see a bunch of post on how to retrofit the mirror, which seems more or less straight forward. Problem stems that most of those posts are super old, and many of them are based on the three series, which most do not come with the alarm.

Since I am looking to retrofit the item, does anyone know how to install the new mirror and get the alarm system and the blinking light to work? That'd be great.

Hopefully this doesn't get to problematic.

Thank you to All

Do a search, buy the correct replacement. It is plug and play, 5 minute job.

I purchased my mirror originally for an E90 and I carefully "split" the cover behind the mirror. Then I unplugged the connector and plugged in the new mirror. It was simple and fast. There are some posts detailing this. The blinking clown nose works, it's smaller than the one that come in the standard mirror without compass, homelink etc. Go for it!
