Bought one of those wire kits that has RJ on one end and power & ground on the other (with small fuse in between). And then simply plugged the power & ground directly into the mirror connector.

Even though you don’t have auto dimming, you should still check to see if you have the wire behind the plastic trim. Takes 2 seconds to check and there’s good chance the car was pre-wired for it. Else I would just run it across headliner and go directly to fuse box.

There’s dozens of threads on Bimmerpost but something like this.

FWIW I may actually have a spare wire kit. Happy to send to you if you cover shipping.
