You can use from 203,202,210... or any MB that has the same base plate like your mirror.
There's a link to a post in our local forum where i posted some pics while retrofitting mine.

You can use Google translate for the details.
With a few words it's a pain to manage to put the new one in place. Removing the old one is simply pulling it downwards.
Usually people cut the wiring, instead of unplugging it. There are many ways to make it work. Mine doesn't have the homelink buttons which made my effort a hell of a lot easier.
I used only the switched 12V+ (blue cable) and Ground-(brown). The pink one is to switch off the function while in reverse, but i don't like that function.
Then just found myself a plug from an old PC motherboard. It was Sunday and the dealer was closed. You'll have to check for switched 12v pins on inside the dome light (there are a lot of empty plugs in European models), and you are all set.
Hope that helps.

yes its a straight swap (i retrofitted one in my CLK cabrio). the electric plug for it is already there waiting for something to be plugged into it.
make sure you get the correct one (cabrio or coupe) as they are different fitment
