I bought this mirror on eBay with the intent on retrofitting into another vehicle. Was listed as coming from a 96 discovery. I was hoping there'd be some identifying marks on the back that would help me track down some info on it but so far I'm coming up empty! I'm including a few pics of the back of the mirror and back of mounting cover. Can anyone help with some more info on it?

1. There's 5-6 wires in the harness (it's at home so I can update later with actual number and colors). I assume some will power the compass/temp display, some are for the map lights and some are for the temp sensor. which ones do what?
2. need to find a temp sensor

Any help and input is greatly appreciated!

 

not a 96 Disco

 

Could it have been a factory option or maybe a dealer add on? I know nothing about Land Rovers. Below is a pic of it installed in the vehicle it came from. They are parting out the car on ebay with the ads listed as covering 94-99 land rover discovery and there's tons of other pics with the mirror mounted so I know it came from this car but i get that someone may have added it at some point in it's 25 years of life.

Strange thing is the wires come out of the back mirror and terminate into a male plug instead of having a female plug on the back of the mirror. That leads me to believe the mirror was designed to plug into the wiring harness of the car.

 

that is exactly my interior but not that mirror - here is the self dimming mirror that would have been on a 96' D1

Genuine Land Rover Discovery 1 Rear View Mirror - Auto Dim - from 1995 - AWR2146 (rimmerbros.com)

 

thanks for the reply. Another weird thing is the mirror is not self dimming, it's manual.

Looks like things are pointing to it not being a factory mirror.
