eMirror DIY with pics and Vid
Ok i purchased this module for my car a few months back and got sent the wrong one and had to return it for a e46 instead of a e39 module, I recieved it today and fitted it.
Overall time taken: 30 mins Difficulty: medium Ok 1st I got the kit out the jiffy envelope and read instructions   Then I got some tools (screwdrivers, pliers, cutters,) and went out to the car 1st remove glove box by opening it and removing 6 screws, 3 along front edge and 2 behind the straps that hold it from dropping down and 1 on bottom of glove box underside   When I had removed glovebox and dropped it down to bottom of the footwell I could see all this  I then had to remove the middle plug on the main module pictures here with red arrow  Disconnected the plug and removed its casing by sliding a small screwdriver down into its clip  seperated clip into two sides, both sides had numbers showing pin number for each side  I then installed the supplied clips onto 3 wires as follows Pin 10 brown/black cable Pin 47 red/violet cable Pin 9 white/red/yellow cable I then plugged in the 3 cables from the module into the clips brown on module = brown/black red on module = red/violet white on module = white/red/yellow I then reassembled plug and connected it back where it came from  I had a sneaky look at whats inside the module and found one side just has a chip and the other has various resistors and diodes looks a bit complicated but I guess could be copied

Next up I had to remove this plug and its casing
  I added two crimp connectors onto pin 12 and pin 1 from this plug and reasembled plug housing and plugged back in  Last picture shows the module and all its wires plugged in, the module sits in one of the empty slots and the wires i've tucked away underneath  I reasembled the glove box and tested it and took a video

im a little confused...this is to enable the motorized mirrors to go up when you lock the car? or is this for the windows to go up when you press the lock button?

Its just for the mirrors to go up and down when you lock and unlock the car, the video shows me using the total closure (oem feature) as I had to close the car up as i was finished inside

No, US is auto open only. I wonder if you can have ECU flashed for that?
