hey all, just wondering if anyone knows how to rig up one of thoose chromatic rear view mirrors off an Xi verada? i got one today from a rollover and the plug was ripped out the socket when the windscreen broke. im hoping its just 12v but that would be too easy. thanks!

There will be 12V but may also be an output for the drivers side mirror as it also tilts/chromatically tints.

ur a genious! i pulled it apart and those frighfully clever people at mitsubishi have labled the connectors! unfortunately they have the pins soldered over them :( anyway i wondered what the +o, -o were for.....OUTPUT as greenmatt says!

next step hooking up to 12v and seeing what happens lol

Might be worth going back and grabbing the internals of the wing mirror if the wiring is already there. Its quite nice to have it dip/dim too for 4wds/trucks. Also does it still have its boot carpet? If so dibs if you are going back, or can you pm me where it is?

WHOA! its u bruddah greenmatt! forgive me, i forgot to check out things u wanted, i stopped by briefly and im like a kid in a candy store! sorry man ill have a look next time im there :redface: yeah same place.

im pretty sure the outside mirror got shawn off when it rolled. just hooked it up then to 12v and it works like a charm! i could play with this thing all night! (THE MIRROR!!!!)

looks like it will fit the 380 too lol

No worries mate. The mirrors are pretty generic, I have seen the same unit in a Grand Cherokee.

I love in the electrochromatic rear view mirrors in my Rada but too bad the centre one shakes like a mofo when the car is idling. Anyone else have this problem?

Not mine, my old TE mirror used to vibrate a lot from the subs, my KL much less so.

i tried putting it in this arvo, got everything ready.............

and do u think i could get the f#$% mirror off? i got a hammer and a block of wood and a hugh screwdriver and started bashing it but realised it was only attached to glass. oh well job for another day. :(

am i the only one shaken by that statement

i give up! i dropped the screw driver and it scratched the dash and i cracked it and grabbed the mirror to yank the basted off but in that split second i though of having to replace the windscreen so im going to dremmel it out much cheaper than a new windscreen.

today i masked the windscreen and got some newspaper and sawed the mirror off lol

got a brand new 380 one and installed that. going to wire it up tommorow. so i got the KJ one for sale if anyones interested. heres a pic it automatically darkens and needs 12v.

the mirror slides up, towards the roof lining.

and if its loose, you can try bending the two curved tabs in towards the centre.
or buy a new one. common problem.

its as tight as a fishes **** couldnt get it to budge thats why i had to use a hacksaw to get it off. couldnt press the clip without putting pressure on the wind screen. heres a pic of what could happen. that black stuff on the right is actually glass!

and the service manual is wrong there is NO BUTTON! :rant:

how does the 380 attach to the window ???


i dont have mine connected since i got a new windscreen many years ago and the other one just fallin off from the sub i have 3 outlines from the glue and i aint goin any further down my windscreen haha

I call dibs on that mirror, Ill inspect mine 2moro and see if its hard to remove.

What price you looking at for it?

yeah mine does it all the time and than if im at the lights or something and plus the subs are going i cant see outta it :( lol

got the mirror but mine doesnt vibrate unless i have high bass up (KJII verada). maybe a bad idle, or just bad connection?

it has a mount that glues on the wind screen and the mirror slots into it and its held on with a clip. heres a pic of the mount. i think its the same as the TJ, but might be different with earlier models.

and how much was it ????

Ill express some interest in the mirror...whats the damage?

SOLD mate :)

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does anyone know how much a EC mirror for a 3rd gen or 380 costs from Mitsubishi? Might be interested in fitting one to my 2nd gen if its not too hard or too expensive. (Unlikely)

Ollie

dude i got mine for like 165 trade, it was a while ago i had it in my pulsar lol

i paid 140 for the 380 one. i found an old AT power supply connector that goes to the motherboard fits the plug on the mirror perfectly!

Gonna sound pretty dumb, but o well, what is a chromatic mirror?
whats so special about it?

i could be wrong but i think it is one that kinda like tints its self and stop the sun reflecting in your eyes if you kno what i mean, then again i could ne totally wrong.

mike

yeah i just read up about it, thats something else i now want.
