Auto-dim mirror

[antix_v2]

Anyone got one fitted? What's the little button at the bottom that has a green LED on it?

[d+jbug]

Turns it on or off

Anyone know what the hell this mirror actually does or how it works?

It's supposed to automatically divert the glare of someone driving behind you at night with their lights on.

So does it tilt/darken??? Just wondered what to expect by pressing the light button so the green LED lights up....

[Shamrockez]

I guess it darkens - I'm sure someone on here must have one or know what it does.

If its the same as the BMW ones, then it doesnt appear to darken, but it does reduce the glare quite significantly. im sure it must darken slightly though :-?

I think mine got that function, and I've used it once. I went darken and divert the glare of the headlight from the car behind you. I found it quite good coz it won't blind my eyes when I'm driving at night .... but not sure what other people think. Will doesn't use it much .... it's only me use it maybe it's my height, I'm not sure

[VW04_Bug]

I thought I got it, anyway people here know i'm daft anyway ;D

[Grahamini]

It does tint the mirror quite a lot, only noticed it at night and not always when there are lights behind so I assume it`s linked to the headlight switch ?

[W111_STAA]

the one in my s3 was better than the one in my seat that did dim you could watch it do it

[Jampot]

Mine's excellent. It makes the lights behind you seem darker and greener (or perhaps less yellow), and they don't dazzle you.

I never turn it off - are you supposed to? With summer I haven't driven in the dark much recently.

[W111_STAA]

i never turn it off

[DARYL_-_BMS]

Keep it on with the green light on, headlights hits it, it dims, you don't go blind, you can SEE!

[Delenn]

I leave mine on all the time. I like the green tint. I will be returning to to Stock when I come to sell on.

[DARYL_-_BMS]

What you chatting Deleen???

[Doodlebug]

I used to have one on Doodle, was brilliant, really miss it on Noodle, it just dims out lights from behind, gives like a green hue :)
