Can you install a tilting rear view mirror in the sport edition?

I had a Mitsu Eclipse GT and it had a tilting rear view mirror that I kind of miss. It's the only feature that car had that I wish my RX8 had. I never noticed how bright cars behind me are until I got the RX8 Sport.

Has anyone had or know if a tilting rear view mirror can be installed in an RX8 Sport? Not sure where these things get their power from. I know the one in my Eclipse had a power cable that came out from the top and under the liner of the roof of the car.

Manual tilting mirror? Or the Autodimming mirror?

Auto dimming, which I know requires a power source.

Yeah, there is a wiring harness within the headliner. Most of the wiring harnesses in the RX-8 are the same regardless of trim, so you may already have the harness just tucked away up there. You would have to do some exploring to figure it out, or run your own power cable.
