Indeed, I was trying to figure if the oem anti dazzle is the same fitment as the non anti dazzle.  I had a feeling the anti dazzle mirror ussualy comes with rain sensors and might be a different fitment

Also need to know if its just a live 12v & earth wire to make it work or complicated canbus wiring??

Thanks skard!

Pretty sure it only comes as part of the Rain sensor package.

Its available to buy, do you think it wont work with just 12v supply?

I retrofitted an auto dimming mirror to our old 206 that had CAN-VAN wiring. Didn't go through the car wiring at all.

The mirrors usually have three wires - 12v, earth and gearbox feed (to undim on reverse).

That's reassuring thanks again mate.  I may give it a shot.  I have retro fitted the red LEDs (in my build) to my boggo mirror but would be nice to have the propper mirror with auto dim & the LEDs
