Default Upgrading to Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror with Compass

Hello All! Been away for awhile

Can I retrofit my 2000 A4 Rear view mirror the newer models with the Compass on it? Are the connections the same? I STFA but didn't see anything. I saw the tech write up but don't know if it'll work in my car.

Help!!!!

Default Do you already have autodimming mirrors?

If so, you should have no problem, the connections are identical. Very easy to do, only will take you about 5-10 minutes.

Here is a link to the install (the onlything I did not follow was the whole pliers thing. I was able to remove using just my hands):<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int36.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int36.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default If you do not have autodimming mirrors...

here is a writeup about retrofitting a wiring harness for the new mirror.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/245254.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/245254.phtml</a</li></ul>
