Hey guys, A quick question for ya: will a 5 pin 996 mirror work with a 10 pin harness plug? I was sent a 5 pin passenger side mirror for my 2001 996tt by mistake, as the car actually takes a 10 pin. Anyone know what functions those �extra� 5 pins facilitate? Will the 5 pin mirror work w/o throwing a code? I understand the best solution is to return it for the 10 pin, but is it otherwise useable? Bill

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Isnt the 10 pin, heated and self dimming? The 5 pin is just adjustable?
I�m not sure...I assumed heated but don�t know if self dimming . Anyone else have input?
