Yes, some electrical work is involved.

I would like to know as well. I have installed OEM auto dim mirrors in other vehcicles I have owned. Typically the wiring harness was present at least to the A-pillar, and all that was needed was the harness from there to the mirror, and of course the mirror itself.

Typically in those cars an after market retailer (or even an enterprising dealer) sold the parts in a package.

I got the auto dimming rearview mirror, but not the side mirrors. Anyone know how hard/cost of doing that upgrade?

Default What about the A5?

I just asked the same thing in the A5 forum as it would seem logical that an A4 mirror would fit?

Any part numbers guys??
