The film presents the replacement of a standard, mechanically switched interior mirror in Octavia III, with a photochromic mirror (with automatic dimming).
According to the information obtained from the Skoda authorized service, if the mirror has not been selected at the ordering stage, it is uneconomic to add it to the car later. The price of a new mirror is about PLN 450€. The price of the mirror should be added to the cost of new wire harness with the plug to connect the mirror, take up the upholstery and arrange the harness and connect the wires to the controller. The total cost can exceed 1000 €.
Therefore, instead of the original, new Skoda mirror, the mirror from other Volkswagen group model was used. Mirrors from the series 7N0857511 for example fits into Octavia III, although the individual series may differ in the colors and shades of the housing.
The film uses the part number 7N0857511K. I bought the mirror on the Internet. That was used but in good condition and cost about 14€ including shipping cost It has a grip that fits to Octavia, but the bright bezel in the front has a slightly “creamy” shade, a little different from other plastics, the color of which shades into gray.
Special thanks to the user named "milanj" from the briskoda.net. Thanks to his inspiration and description the film was made. The proposed solution of wiring is based on his description and on the diagram from the service manual containing the wiring diagrams. As you can see in the final part of the movie - the solution tried and tested. But as always - you make all changes at your own risk :-)
