Hi, can you retro fit a auto dimming rear view mirror? The grey connector is there, so would I be able to fit a mirror and plug it in or would it need to be activated somehow?
thanks

If the Megane is like my old pug it just requires a power source so if you have the wiring it should work plug and play. The only issue I forsee is whether the bracket is strong enough for the larger, heavier mirror.

If the lead and plug are there you can just change the mirror,its a straight swap

Re: Retro fit auto dimming mirror
Did you manage to do this?
My rear view mirror is cracked and I want to replace it. I figure I may as well fit an auto dimming one if they're compatible.
Just wondering how to get the existing mirror off so I can see if the wires are there.
Does anyone know how this is done?

Managed it no problem, remove the casing and the existing mirror slides off with a few gentle taps. Plug in replacement mirror and reverse the fitting
