1. Remove the old rearview mirror by loosening the phillips screw. Remove the visors by removing the phillips screw and the torx screw. Pop the driver's side A-pillar off. Pop off the dash. Also might wanna remove the handle in the ceiling on the passenger's side by removing the (2) torx screws.
2. Now for the wiring harness. If you have NO sunroof, then get this wiring harness P/N 4661504. If you DO have a sunroof, then you'll have to find out what the correct P/N is for that harness 'cause I don't know it, sorry. If you're really desperate you can do what I did and make the P/N 4661504 work with the sunroof equipped cars.
3. This is what the 4661504 harness looks like. "A" goes to the mirror. "B" goes to the passenger's lighted vanity mirror. "C" goes to the driver's vanity mirror. "D" goes to the red connector under the dash on the driver's side.
4. If you got the correct harness for your car, then it's a piece of cake. Remove the old harness and pop the new one in place. That simple. You're done.
5. If you don't have the right one, then you can make it work like I did. Here's what ya gotta do. The mirror has (3) wires that need to be connected: Pink (constant +12v), Black/Orange (ground) and Yellow or Yellow/Black (switched power).
6. Take the new harness that won't work and cut off all of the connectors except for the end that plugs into the mirror ("A" in the pic above). Plug the connector into the mirror and run the wires along the old harness over to the driver's side A-pillar. Pull out the pink wire from the new harness and splice it into the pink wire of the old harness.
7. Remove the clothes hanger hook on the driver's side in the back seat by removing the torx screw. Pop off the top of the plastic side panel piece so you're able to run the Black/Orange and Yellow wires from the new harness to the rear window on the driver's side. You will have to extend the wires so it will reach.
8. There in the corner you will see a two wire connector (Yellow and Pink) that goes to your dome light. Splice the yellow wire from the new harness to the yellow wire. The only wire left is the Black/Orange wire. Connect this to any good ground. I used one of the bolts that holds the quarter window in.
