non-auto dimmed mirror for A6
Hi
I've seen a lot of discussion about which outside mirror is better: auto dimmed or a regular one.
It happens that my driver's side mirror is a non-auto dimmed. If someone prefers a regular, non auto-dimmed heated mirror and wants to exchange his/her auto-dimmed mirror with mine please e-mail me at playjazz@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Unless the wiring is in place in the mirror housing, the swap won't work.
And that wiring is most likely not there, if the car left the factory as unequipped with auto-dimming mirrors.

You need a Euro mirror!
Okay, so I put mine on my car last week, they are nice! Here's the two configurations:

Here's the original mirror:

Here's the Euro mirror:

It's convex on the outboard side, very cool, you can see a lot of what is next to you.
I have a few 00 and newer ones, if anybody wants them for $50 including shipping. It does not dim and it does not have black rubber around it. I also have a few more 99 and older coming.
The complete thread is below.

Driver's side only?
Do you have both sides or just the driver's side? My driver's side is delaminating, just like everyone elses, but I through a matching set would be a good way to go. Either way, I'd like to but one or a set off you for a 98. Are you expecting any in?
