My current car does not have it. I'll let you know in a month or so when my next car arrives.

I get blinded all the time. I have my back shade up sometimes and the sensor never turns the dimmer on the mirrors. I understand the reason for that is the shade itself. I just think the sensor should be strong enough to pick up the light through the shade. But when it works it really works.

Mine works fine, but I wish we could do something aout the dimming. It makes it difficult (especially in the night) to see if you're being tailed by a cop. I sometimes have to put my hand over the sensor just to make sure.

Mine work fine, but an on/off switch would be useful.

Has anyone had a problem with the auto dimming interior mirror when you have tinted the rear window?
