RAV4 Auto Dimming Mirror Question

Hi ..I just bought a leftover 2005 RAV4-L and would like to add an OEM auto
dimming interior rear view mirror and swap it out myself. Has anyone ever
put one of these auto dimmer mirrors in a Rav?

My L model has side air bags & factory moon roof and this OEM dimming mirror
is definitely a listed factory option for that configuration.

I'd just like to find out if I'd need to do extensive head-liner work to
snake its wires any distance ..or for that matter would I need to run a line
down behind the windshield side cowl to the fuse panel ..I wouldn't think
so? Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe that the auto-dimming mirror is available as a dealer-installed
accessory. Most likely, the wiring is already in the head liner and would
be exposed by removing the stock mirror or cover plate.
