"As a replacement for the original equipment, this was easy to install. The most difficulty I had was determining the (+) and (-) leads from the car. Once I tested which lead was "hot" and "neutral", then it became a 1-2-3 installetion. The mirror itself looks very similar to original GM equipment. If I didn't know any better I would say it was. The price for this unit was reasonable too. After looking around on the internet for the exact match of what I took out, I would have paid 2x the cost. For a car that is up in years and mileage, this was a deal!!! I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend it to anybody looking for a replacement automatic mirror. And if you're handy with tools and know what you are doing with wires, then this is a good 30 minute project."

sold as a replacement for VW Passat

"Warning! Even though this is sold as a VW Passat replacement mirror, if you have the VW rain sensor wipers, this mirror will not fit your setup without some serious rejiggering. I used it by gluing another mirror anchor to the windshield next to the rain sensor and splicing the connector to to the VW wiring. It obviously doesn't look OEM, but it doesn't look ugly, either. In fact, for most people it's probably not even noticeable. I am very happy with the functioning quality of the mirror, and of course, the price when compared with the VW cost of about $275, but it's not something you just swap in without spending some expertise, time, and energy."

"I tried to save time by looking for wires in the overhead console that I could splice into. This added about an hour to my time, and finally decided that none of the wires were satisfactory for this install. Then I decided to follow the directions and do as they recommended, which went smoothly and I finished in about an hour. Very straight forward. I recommend purchasing the wire cover. This gives the installation a much better appearance, more like an OEM install. I am pleased with the appearance and operation of the mirror. I would recommend it."
