Default Auto Dimming Mirror for Scion tC Spec

I was checkin out the Scion tC spec and I noticed that it doesn't come with an option to get the auto dimming mirror. Would it be possible for me to buy an Auto Dimming Mirror from somwhere and attach it to the Spec afterwords or no?

tC spec was meant for tuners who will add aftermarket products for both performance and show. (auto dimming mirror, i would say are neither of that)

for the regular tC owners.. it's best to just buy a regular tC.

ok. I personally like the Spec moon roof more then the regular tC. And everything that was taken out I woulda never used regardless so a cheaper tC sounds real good for my poor ___. idk, everything will fall into place once I get into the process of buyin a tC.

hey I noticed you are from Long Island, have you stopped by Smithtown at all yet to check one out? We have a couple of the spec packages that you could look at if you havent seen them yet in person.

another question. Not directly spec related but i don't wanna start a new topic. Can I remove the Yakima Rack as I please? Cuz my friends and mine snowboards will definatly not fit in the trunk but I don't wanna be driving around with a rack on the roof of my car all year round.

yeah man I fit my mountain bike in there. Even the xA has had 2 or 3 mountain bikes in the rear. However if you don't want to risk scratching up your interior, go with the roof rack.

I just read this thread, but if Scion is not listing the autodimming mirror as being available then they may not be putting the wiring you would need in place. If this is the case, then you can not add one and most aftermarket installers will not risk adding one as they would have to pull stuff apart, like your headliner, to run wires.
