Default Rear view mirror question

I was thinking of changing my stock rear view mirror to the tinting one.Does anyone know if it is just a plug and play swap?

Skrilla would not "have to have the additional circuits". The three circuits that are missing are: 2 circuits that would control the dimming of the LH outside mirror and one for backup lamp input (forces mirror to un-dim when in reverse). None of these circuits are an absolute must have for the basic operation of an autodimming mirror.

Skrilla would definitely need to install the 7pin connector. The four circuits that are present are all vitally important for the operation of the oem autodimming mirror
