Auto Dimming Side Mirror Question

Hey Guys, so recently I retrofitted auto folding mirrors on my 04. When I did, I noticed that the new mirror assembly has the connection for auto dimming glass. When I did the retrofit, I just swapped the old heated glass over. But, the heating element is broken and both pieces of glass will need to be replaced. If I buy auto dimming glass, will they be plug and play? Or would I need to replace the non auto dimming center rear view mirror too?

you need the sensor in the rear view mirror as well and probably some programming to let them all communicate.
