Default MirrorTap instructions for '01+ C5?

Hi again, after 10 minutes of searching I couldn't find an answer so I turn to you folks.

I'm having difficulty finding instructions or even a wiring diagram of the C5's auto-dimming rear view mirror. I've seen instructions for C6 and C7s but nothing so far for C5s. If anyone has a link or any information, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Auto dimming mirror? I think on my 03 Z, it was brown positive and orange ground.

Not really sure what he actually needs but-----

There are 3 Brown wires. One really needs the schematics and connector view. There are many other circuits/wires there. He just said he wanted the schematics for that type mirror. There are 3 of them.
