Power-fold mirrors - pre-wired on February 2004 E85?

I’ve got a February 2004 built E85 and I’ve been gradually retrofitting some OEM options.

So far I’ve found the car was already pre-wired for:

* Heated seats
* Multi-function steering wheel
* Cruise control

All of those were basically plug-and-play once the correct parts were fitted.

I’m now looking at retrofitting OEM power-fold mirrors and was wondering whether anyone knows the chances of the wiring already being present on a February 2004 build.

Has anyone found their early E85 was already pre-wired for folding mirrors, or should I expect to run additional wiring into the doors?

Also, once everything is fitted, do the mirrors require coding, or will they work straight away with the correct mirrors and switch?

Thanks Jason
 
I am 99% sure powerfold needs the mirrors, module and button on the switch, but loom is there up to Oct 04

But dimming photochromatic mirrors need loom adding regardless of build date

I’ll stand corrected
 
The doors don't always have the wiring, sometimes you get 1 door, both doors or neither doors. However the chassis of the car will be wired up for powerfolds on a February build 2004 car.

If you need some powerfold mirrors then I have some.
 
Thanks, that’s really useful to know.

I’m not quite ready to do the retrofit yet, but it’s something I’m planning for soon. I may end up buying a donor car, but if that doesn’t happen, I’ll definitely keep you in mind for the mirrors.

Thanks again for the advice
