2018 Mirror Camera Install
Hello - I was dumb and snapped my mirror stalk (360 camera, blind spot, spotlight, pud lamp, etc) - but everything still works.
I was wondering if I can buy the mirror below that has all of the features except for the 360 camera, pull out the bottom insert, and then pop in the 360 camera from my previous mirror.

This is the mirror that I have:

It would be great if I can just plug in my 360 camera to the bottom. It would save me $600.
I'm leaning towards it would work because it's a complete separate connection, but I want to make sure.
Thanks!

In case anyone in the future stumbles across this and they are needing the answer (I found one thread someone made but the OP never replied to say if it worked).... so...YES, this does work. The wiring for the camera is separate and the bottom pops out perfectly for the 360 camera - no compatibility issues at all.
In addition: the mirror that came with it had the turn signal, but no "spot light" for the side. I swapped out the turn signal for the spotlight/turn signal one I had in my previous mirror.
So long story short reuse your parts and buy cheaper mirrors and swap out the parts. I probably saved $500-1,000 doing this instead. Just make sure that the prong connections (count and location of them) are the same as the mirror you broke. Likely you can retrofit all of the parts anyway if something happened to not work.
