Re: Sorry Paul! - RE: new Audi mirrors

["Sean Ford" <sean@nwh.org>]

Excuse me, gentlemen, I don't want to step into the middle of something here,
but are these EC mirrors going to be available as a retrofit item (ala Graydon,
btw, get some talent will you?;->) on older Audi's, or is there some expensive
and complicated electronics that go with them?

Strike that, they will be expensive I'm sure, will it be complicated as well?
