Default Auto-Dimming Rear-view mirror Installation

Hey all, i just bought a new 2010 scion xD and opted to buy the auto dimming mirror (Part# PT374-02090) from scionpartspeople.com along with a bunch of other stuff. Everything in my order came with decent installation instructions except the mirror which came with none. I have no idea even where to start with this.

Can anyone help me?

Hrm, go check TRDSparks.com and they should have the instructions on the page on the right hand side.

[edit]
Here ya go, use the installation PDF for the Yaris Sedan

After reading those instructions I think I would just put some 5% tint on the back window lo.

Remove old mirror, reach just inside headliner and find the Accessory Mirror Addition plug/harness, remove it thru the small hole in the headliner. Plug that into the mirror and then mount the new mirror...

TA DA!!! Unless they changed it from the 2008 that should be the way to do it. Most Toyotas come pre-wired for auto-dimming mirrors.

Does the auto-dimming mirror harness also work for Homelink mirrors? Or are there additional wires needed for the Homelink function?

not to sound like an idiot, but what do you mean by headliner?

Headliner is the fabric on the ceiling of the car.
