Default auto-dimming mirror info needed

hi, i would like to get the Tc mirror for my car and was wondering if it uses the same electrical connector and windshield mount as a Matrix.

can anyone post a picture of the connector and mount?

i have asked countless sellers on ebay with no luck and went to two dealers and neitehr had one in stock to look at.

thanks if you can help.

someone here about 2 months back self installed the auto dimming mirror. he tapped into the moonroof power with no problems. using that power allows one to have side airbags and the auto dimming mirror. do a search and see what comes up.

I guess most of you still don't know.
Scion released their new auto-dimming mirror installation manual(fully compatible with side airbags) about 2-3 months ago.

You can actually donwload the manual from toyotaparts4u.com

Everything is done under the headlight.
2 different harnesses u tap into
