Does anyone know if the auto dipping mirrors function is software or harware modified?
Well I presume the mirrors work in the same way as the auto-dimming rear view mirror, in that the glass actually darkens (well goes greenish). I believe this is does via a liquid crystal layer which has an electric current passed through it.grey99 said:Yes i was just wondering if it was software only. Therefore just go to a dealer and get it done.
It's on the price list, available either as Door Mirrors - auto-dimming at £145 or Door Mirrors - auto-dimming and electrically folding at £260__DyNaSTY_X_ said:Sorry to sound like the biggest NOOB around, but how exactly do you get this option?? Does it come with the parking sensor?
I never saw it as an extra, when making the order...
I understood "electrically folding" As in when you park the car/turn off engine, ive seen some cars (bmw 5/7 series to be precise) fold the door mirrors upwards/inwards so they don't stick out like in normal driving position.Vertigo1 said:It's on the price list, available either as Door Mirrors - auto-dimming at £145 or Door Mirrors - auto-dimming and electrically folding at £260
