Hello ,

I just have a quick question.

Are the JDM mirrors compatible with our USA based power mirrors?

I may sell my power mirrors to a member who has a JDM model VX , and
he wants to know if they are compatible.

thanks in advance,

Best way for both of you to know for sure is for each of you to take a mirror off the same side of your vehicle (regardless of which is considered the "drivers" side) and look at the electrical connector. If both have the same colored wires at the same pinouts, you should be good to go.

If they are different, someone with a JDM model factory electrical manual would have to chime in about any differences.

In the US version, both the right and left mirrors appear to have the same wire colors in the electrical connectors.

Thank you so much for the specific details about the mirror.
I appreciate it Y33TREKker. That is a big help . Actually , I just sold the

While the info I included is fresh, you might suggest that the member with the JDM VX go ahead and take one of the mirrors off to check the wiring connector colors, then post the info here just for future reference.

The wiring in the JDM mirror will be different.
The JDM mirrors are heated, and are powered back into a stowed position when you park.

The USA units only have one of those features, but I can't remember which.

They were entirely redesigned for the US market, from what I've read.
