Howdoo and welcome to the site.  

Been a while since I done mine in the MV6 but, from memory, all you are needing is a pos and neg feed which can be taken from the existing interior light?

Will move to the electrical section so that others who know electrical things better than wot i does can give a better reply.....   :y

Yup, just 4 wires, 3 of which available from courtesy light (switched 12v, 0v, light on), and 4th from passenger kick panel (reversing)

Nope, unless you consider adjusting the mirror to be part of the driving experience :o I wonder how many are fitted to the Lotus Elise or Ariel Atom... maybe that's what makes them so exciting to drive :P

Have you got that automatic steering wheel and pedal box installed yet? Surely you're not still using your hands and feet on them in this day and age? :y
