thanks in advance,

Auto dimming mirror is basically plug and play

Especially if you buy one that has the correct plug... Change over is around '51

thanks mate mine is a 2000 model so anything before then should be ok

I believe traffic master ceased many years ago.My year 2000 Elite had this fitted from new but in the 8 or so years I've owned it I've never tried using the system.

If yours is not an Elite, you'll probably lack the loom for the autodimming/memory mirror.

If you just want autodimming, 3 of the 4 connections can be got from interior light, and the 4 from passenger kick panel.  Sure I wrote a guide - see Maintenance Guides section.

NCDx system - quite dated on features, but far better for accuracy than any portable unit - can be retrofitted with a modified TM loom, and some minor pin reassignments on PFL models.

Vectra C one won't fit... Plug is completely different. You need a non rain sensor Omega one.

However...

You say yours is a 2000 car... Is the front grill on the bonnet and are the window switches on the front doors?

If yes, then you'll probably find the plug tucked up behind the interior light... If it's an earlier non facelift car, you might be less fortunate

not worried about the plug as i can get the plug from the donor car, just one thing how does the mirrior come from the mounting bracket?

Yep, never understood that one. My Dad's Volvo seems to be designed on the basis that checking that your shoe laces are still tied up is more important than seeing where you're going at night.

Might explain a lot about Volvo drivers...

Just retro-fit 1500w Tungsten halogen floodlights

Hmmm,interesting.Mine has footwell lights There's one each side set in the fibreboard[or whatever it's made of]that fits between the lower dash and the bulkhead/toeboard.I always took them to be standard but obviously a previous owner must have taken the trouble to fit them/wire them in

[Doctor Gollum]

It's an earlier Elite thing

Easy enough to retrofit (with some ability and imagination) and, iirc, uses the same lamp unit as the estate boot light

I don't think it was ever offered on an Omega...

I repeat, I don't think it was ever offered on any Omega, PFL, MFL or FL.

That doesn't stop people fitting shit;).  In the same way a Focus never had under-car lighting, but some idiot near me has had it fitted. I suspect he's from Banburyshire.
