Hey guys. I've got a '13 SR5 base model. I'm looking at adding an electrochromic rearview mirror (pulled out from '08 FJ that I put in aftermarket) but it seems that the harness for the upgrade package or limited (that would have an electronic mirror and/or rear camera monitor w/o nav) is not there on the SR5 base models. Sometimes japanese manufacturer's keep the wiring harness the same on all the models cause it's cheaper to make only one harness but it doesn't seem it's that way. So, i'm looking for a 12V positive (ignition acc) to power up the aftermarket mirror. The harness that should be there would have been run from the front of the roof mounted console underneath the headliner (connector S5 from the wiring diagram) to a connector in the driver side A-pillar (connector FS1). I looked at removing the A-Pillar but it has the safety air bag clips that are keeping it hard to view the connector completely. From what I figure is I can only see the back of the female connector of FS1 which does not have the lead that I need. However, I think the male connector of FS1 might have all the connections and is standard on all the models but without the a-pillar completely off, I can't guarantee it. Has anybody removed the a-pillar on the driver side? How can I remove those clips without breaking them? Has anybody pulled 12+ Ign Acc from somewhere else that would be close and easier besides the fuse box? Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
