Default No toys in my rear view mirror

Hi. My '03 XKR (bought used recently....) does not seem to have rain sensing wipers, auto-on headlamps, electro-chromatic auto dimming mirrow, or compass. From what I have read, the auto-on headlights and auto dimming mirror were standard equipment in these cars. The headlight switch has an "auto" setting, as does the wiper switch. I also have read that all the sensors for these functions are in this mirror. Is it possible that the rear view mirror was changed by a previous owner? I can't seem to find a picture of what the original equipment mirror should look like. Any suggestions?

Geoff,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Members here with the same model will be best able to help.

The original mirror is a Donnelly - marked as such on the back - have a look at the above thread and all will become clear(or cloudy in some cases :0))
