Removing panels and trim pieces is quite intuitive

To make the installation quicker you can remove the necessary panels and trim pieces first, before you connect the mirror module. Push the two front seats fully back and release the parking brake

Remove the center consul mirror control panel by putting your fingers through the rubber surrounding of the parking brake slot and pushing up on the mirror control panel from underneath. This will give you room to insert a pry tool and remove the box.

Disconnect the white and black plugs under the box. No tool is needed to unplug just look for the little tab near the wire end of the plug and push in and the plug to slide it out. This is true for all the plugs.

Remove both of the big shiny black side trim pieces either side of the shifter knob by first pulling up and out on the rear end and then snapping out the front ends. Use the pry tool when necessary.

The trim piece around the shifter handle will come off by pulling up and disconnect the attached plug by pushing in on the tab.

It’s easier partly remove the cup holders to be able to thread the two wires going to the left door area. Take out the two screws and pull up on the back end. The panel just in front of the cup holders will stay attached so partly snap them out also.

Remove the gray panel just left of the steering wheel with the pry tool, inserted at the top and snap out the square panel..

Take out the four screws on the bottom of the dash panel either side steering wheel (don’t lose them)

Remove the sound proof panel by the foot pedals and with the pry tool remove the gray large panel below the steering wheel.

By the door, hand remove the plastic screw on the inner part of the black trim piece connected to the bottom door frame trim

With the pry tool, unsnap the front section of the bottom door frame trim (rocker panel)

Pull out the top front part of the bottom door frame trim and disconnect from the bottom piece to give you access to the wire bundle.

Put the trim back by snapping in the pieces and replacing the few screws.
 
sobayimage - I checked my wire again, the door close single wire on the car is RED with BLUE dots, thanks for your catch.
