Default Where to get a replacement 433Mhz remote receiver for auto-dimming rearview mirror?

Water (somehow) go into my R53 auto-dimming rear view mirror and killed the receiver for remote locking/unlocking

Does anyone know where I can get a repalcement board in the UK?

NOTE: This is not the black platic box which are in a lot of models. This is just a PCB with header pins, which fits inside the body of the rear view mirror

Thanks

Hello,

You have to get a whole new mirror with those options. Otherwise find a car with your same options/year in a junk yard.

Yep, that seems to be the only option. Problem is, they are few and far between -saw one on eBay - seller wanted £1099 !!!!!!
Meanwhile, I've built a makeshift repalcement (using a voltage regulator, 433.94Mhz transparent receiver & a transistor to invert the output signal) - it draws about 1.8ma, which I'm hoping won't kill the battery (I guess I'll find out)

Meanwhile, I'm still looking for a replacement....
