Years ago I changed the mirrors on my 1996 Chimaera and followed an excellent thread on here which was great.
I now have a 1999 Chimaera I am going through the same process.
However the wiring colours are completely different!!
Has anybody done this on a later Chimaera and if so, could you give me some help!!
Thanks in anticipation

Despite a great deal of help from Steve we were unable to have any luck with the wiring.
Apparently my 1999 Chimaera has the later type switching.
Has any body done the Corrado conversion with the later type switching?

I fitted Corrado mirrors to my S3 using Steve's wiring diagram I found here on PH, starting from scratch as the car originally had manual adjust mirrors.

Can you not delete everything and start again with nothing more than a live and earth?

In one of my emails I suggested the next step was to test the switch you have (the brushed ali one) and tell me what each pin connects to in all of the switch modes. With that I may be able to tell you how to wire it.
