Need some help. I want to do this mod, but have heated, memory, and BSM also. Will these not work?

It's not too hard.
Remove the rubber gasket on the bottom part. I cut a slit to make the opening bigger to pull the plug through.
Take the screws out.
Then you have to take apart the plug/harness, it's three pieces that clip together.
The plug will only go through the base of the side mirror if it's broken down.
This will all make sense when you actually take it apart.
I did the same thing for both side mirrors.

I was trying to do this over the weekend for the second time (first mirror turned out to be an aftermarket one). The connector that is being blocked is what @peasodos was saying you need to disassemble so that you're able to slide the wires out of the base. I think sanding and spraying the base while connected is easier so I left it on. Also, just to further confirm, you need to reuse the glass from your 13 mirrors in order to not get the BSM error. This makes it hard to use aftermarket for this mod as I found out BSM works temporarily but eventually errors out.

but the bottom base is metal tho unless u use a drill and drill the hole to make it bigger i dont see how the conenctor going to slid out the of the metal case. LOL lucky i took my mirror apart to see if i can take it apart and swipe the stuff. ima return the one i brought since its different color and buy a same color mirror
