Auto-dimming mirror install

My 2007 2.0T Sportcombi did not have an auto-dimming rearview mirror. I purchased a used one online from an older 9-5. Issue #1 was that both mirror and socket in the headliner are female.
No problem - I simply snipped off the connectors and wired pin-to-pin for the 5 wires (only 3 of which are required), using crimp connectors.
While I was at it, I installed a dedicated power cord for my radar detector, and installed a Radar-Mount on the new mirror assembly. A bit tight to fit, but I got it done. Fitment is very tight, as the mounting arm for the mirror is angled along the windshield versus perpendicular to it. Luckily, the mirror I bought had an extension below the mirror, allowing me to attach the mount there.
So, now I have an auto-dimming mirror, and my Beltronics Pro200 lives directly below the mirror, a bit left of center.
