Did a lot of searching but nothing concrete... wanted to do this when I wire up my V1 and homelink visor...

The c70 visor works I read, is it the same one with the lights underneath it?

Thanks in advance guys!

The C70 mirror works, but it cannot be the one from the convertible. You will need the electrochromatic mirror off the C70 Coupe. The reason for this is the slightly different mounting setup between the two versions of the C70s. The mirror brand new from Volvo is $130ish if I remember correctly. The kit is no longer available and the way I got the mirror was coughing up the retail price of the mirror itself and wiring it up myself.

To power the mirror you will need to provide the ignition 12V+ and ground. Most people don't really think about it, but the sunroof power supply 12V+ is a ignition controlled source and it is a thick gauge blue wire that plugs into the sunroof motor/module (one unit). The ground is the black wire next to it. Thats how I wired mine up and it works perfectly on my S70. I still haven't gotten around to wiring up the third wire for the dimming cancel when you put into reverse (tap into the reverse lights at the rear trunk area).
