Power Fold Mirrors Without Auto Dim

Does anyone know how the pinouts work for the auto folding mirror glass connection?

Basically, I want to keep all features in tact, except for the auto dim glass.

I'll be getting the blue euro glass with heat off eBay (two connections). I want to custom wire them in to the power folding setup that uses four pins that connect to the glass.

Since there are four wires, I'm hoping two are for heat, and two are for auto dim.

Physically wiring them may also get a bit tricky but I'm okay with splicing the wires before the four pin connection. I can then keep the physical connection in place if I decide to put the mirrors back to stock (with dim). Also I'll be sealing the spliced areas with hot glue to keep everything kosher and nicely sealed.

Does anyone know what each colour controls or if this will cause any other problems?

My knowledge of how the LIN Bus system works in these mirrors is limited.

Hoping this is doable

Here's another pic of where the 4 pin connection meets the auto dimming glass.

So it looks like there are two versions of the euro glass, one for heat only style mirrors and one for auto dim style. The auto dim won't work but the wiring looks to achieve exactly what I'm looking for.

Gotta love eBay!

Hopefully this thread will help someone as particular as me haha!
