Default Rearview mirror compatibility

Hello,
is it possible to fit a W204/207/212 rearview mirror (auto dimming, with mics and garage door opener) in a facelift W209?
Or even a rearview mirror which was first factory fitted in a cabrio w209?

Do the plugs fit in the Roof Control Panel or we are talking about completely different electronics?

Thanks in advance

The plugs are different. The W203 C mirror is used on the W209.

You also need to be careful that the pre-facelift and post-facelift microphone setup is very different (1 mic vs 4)

Use Search4CarParts - it will search in german/italian/etc for you on eBay, and the best place to find the "complicated" mirrors is often Germany

So, in summary, you are looking for a MY2005 onward mirror with part number 203, with option codes 249 (dimming) 386 (phone) 231 (garage door opener)

I think that makes the part number A203 810 34 17 xxxx (xxxx is the colour code) (7394=grey, 9051=black, 8J12=pebble)


Richard

[ps, note on some of the model range the RHD mirror is different to LHD mirror (they only rotate fully in 1 direction) - this isn't so on the W203

I have found 2 part numbers but can get the difference between them...

A 203 810 34 17 and
A 203 810 32 17

I have found the 2nd one... they have the same price as far as i can see, but cant see their differences!

32 17 is the US one with the wrong frequency garage door opener .. (option 232)

The frequency can not be changed in DAS - the mirror is not 'smart', its just a smartlink garage door opener connected to power from the overhead control panel ..

Richard

ps. The Euro units need to be told which country they are in (using a combination of different key presses) as 2 different frequencies are used in Europe - but very different to US frequencies. See http://www.mercupgrades.com/Integrat...rticle-53.html
