LaneWatch Harness and Install

So, I might be an owner of a rebuilt GK 2015 Fit EX. LaneWatch is standard on these. The passenger door was replaced and an LX door was installed in its place. Effectively getting rid of the LaneWatch system. I want to reinstall LaneWatch. I'm guessing I willl need to buy an EX door harness and the mirror assembly with the camera? That's all correct?

Door harnesses are different part numbers for LX and EX so I figured there must be some additional provision on it. It'd be nice if I didn't have to deal with changing the harness but I might have to.

Anyone have ideas on how to go about this?

So not to rain on the parade too hard,, but,, if they didn't go to the trouble of fixing something that trivial when they repair the car,,, what else did they cheap out on? All they should have needed was a new mirror assembly the original wiring should have reached, we are talking less than a hour while they already had the door off.

Sometimes "rebuilt" cars are a bargain, sometimes not so much.

Yeah, I know what they cheaped out on. I got a crazy price on it, and I know this guy well. He's a close friend of my dad's. He bought a car that he didn't know would cost him a lot more to repair and now he's trying to cut his losses.

My 08 Fit is a rebuilt too which was cheaped out on (base bumper without the Sport skirt, etc. etc.) - kinda know this business pretty well now.


What I want to know is if the harness and the mirror is all I'll need?
