Mirror replacement for side view mirror assembly
Hey all,
I recently had the actual mirror stolen off my driver side side-view mirror.
I've found this link for actually reinstalling a new one (http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...tml&category=3).
My problem is knowing which one to get. I do not have a car manual (not yet atleast, Old Dog ) so I don't know whether it is heated or auto-dimming or both. I can get a picture up of the wiring a little later. Thank God they left the wiring intact.
I have a B7 2007 A4 Avant 2.0T with Premium Plus and winter package (heated front seats, etc).
Any links to parts would be nice. I found this (http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B7_A4-...erior/Mirrors/) but $409 seems crazy for the mirror alone.
Thanks,
Brent

FWIW: I ended up getting an entire driver's side motorized mirror assembly from a junkyard for $200. They would not (understandably) sell only the glass. Edit: The glass is heated and auto-dimming.
This worked out pretty well, since I had some housing parts that were destroyed and needed to be replaced. Since the main housing I got from the junkyard is a different color, I still have the old silver housing installed with a a few cracks, but they're hard to notice.
