Thanks cashie, good to have you onboard

All you should need is a postive and ground for it to work

Yep, take an accessory and ground from the doc connector behind the glovebox.

No probs mate, let us know how it goes.

For anyone thinking about buying an original self dimming mirror the ebay link below is the exact one that I bought today.

Same model number; same pinout.

Less than half the price I paid.

Now you tell me
Ordered mine from Holden last week, on its way across the Nullarbor.

Is this what the connector looks like? Different style again.

 

[Poor old Dad]

Yeah, that's the one.

Probably changed to stop the use of usb connectors.

I bought off the dealer because I wasn't sure about ebay etc windscreen attachment.

Won't be hard to wire up. Just gotta figure out which pin is which.

Oh, I pulled out the interior light panel just to make sure there wasn't a connector hidden in the recess.

There wasn't

There is a thread on here somewhere outlining how this connection is done, a member has already installed one of these. Can't remember the thread though.

If it's the one I came across he's used a usb header as the connecting plug.

The oem mirror now has a different socket and pinout so that can't be done.

It's not rocket science (there's only 5 wires to sort out) but without a wiring diagram I'm a bit wary of frying the pcb trying to find + and e.

There's lots of info out there but I haven't found any specific to VF or this model mirror (GNTX 689).

Perhaps the dealer might send me a pic of the connecting plug wiring/pinout.

We really need someone with a statesman to test their wiring and let us know the pin outs...
