[gole]

Thanks for answer but you didnt understand my problem. I have light panel with one reading light, passive unit which doesnt have connection with can b and now when I wanted to put new light panel which have that connectors for dimmed mirror and so I realized that connector is different. Like on attached photo...

Anybody?
Obviously, first I need to retrofit that new roof light panel with needed connectors.

Maybe photo of yours roof light panel from inside to see connectors...

I think what Richard is saying is that your original panel does have the socket, you just need the correct mirror and it will plug in directly. Normally the OHP do have the socket whether the car has suto dimming mirror or not.

See this post on Richard site. You also need to buy the connecting cable.

Yes, my car is facelift model but have passive interior roof light panel with only one reading light and without CAN B connection and additional sockets for extra things such is dimmed mirror or rain sensor. Have only that 6 pin connector like on photo in first post...

I dont see it being easy to retrofit, I would advise posting on the mbguru site. BTW which country are you in? I take it your car is not a UK spec?

Any updates on this as I am looking to do the same on my W169. Can you please post the part numbers?

I am looking to retrofit an auto dim mirror to my W169. Does anyone have the part number for the power cable that goes between the mirror and the dome?

Also are there any difference in the mirror for the pre and post face-lift W169?

Many thanks
