Yes, there are brains in there so you can't just swap auto-dimming with manual ones.
Like the previous answerer (hah) said, matching modules are key. If I remember right, you can synchronize them by locking/unlocking the car three times with the remote after they're swapped.

If you're lucky, your car doesn't have the auto-dimming leaking mirror. They get pricey.

Yes the S80/S60 and post 2001 V70 series cars have auto dimming mirrors which have a module designed to be programmed at a dealer when replaced. If you can read the car with Vida/Dice you can look in the Network settings to see the software version number. Only modules with a matching version number can be interchanged. If you care to browse Mattews Volvo Site you can find a repair method for this type of mirror by using the glass section from another mirror while retianiing the original controller board.

2001 Volvo S80 New control computer is messing up

I had a problem with my ambient air temperature sensor and the passenger side door lock. I was told that I needed a control module and that my battery was bad. When I replaced the battery, the module reset and everything started working again. Try disconnecting the positive cable from your battery and or having it checked at a local auto parts store.
