Part # for rear view mirror

I'm looking for help identifying the right part number for my rear view mirror. It has autodimming, compass, automatic headlights, and rain sensing wipers. There is something wrong with the wiring inside. Adjusting the mirror, or even a rough bump in the road can make the the headlights go off (only in the automatic setting). Wiggle the mirror and the lights come back on. I went to the parts department of the nearest dealer and using the VIN, they gave me a choice of two parts:
HJA3121BA which has a white plug with 4 wires, or
HNC3133AB which has a yellow plug with 6 wires.
My mirror has a black plug with 5 wires. Poking around on the internet I came up with a part # C2P1823, which looked like it might be right from the pictures.
Has anyone had experience with this? Before I order a super pricey mirror, I want to be sure of getting the right one.

Before going for a high dollar replacement give these guys a call. Mine was overhauled and returned for a little over $100.00.

A little soap box: After I got the mirror fixed, I had the Daytime running light function (Canada Specs.) hooked up. ($163.00 at Jaguar) Now people can see my little car at anytime and in any lighting condition. It's a great safety idea, from my point of view. Tom :-)

Thanks Jimborino and Thomas L.
My original one is working at the moment. I opened took it off and taped some of the wires together to stabilize them from movement and I have driven the car twice at night without a problem. We'll see how long that lasts. I have ordered a used one on line and am awaiting arrival. I'll keep it as a spare and hope it works.
I'm interested to learn that this quirk is not limited to me. It seems like they tried to wire to many features through the mirror. It feels like such a Jaguar cliché to turn the headlights on and off by driving over a bump or tapping on the rearview mirror!
