    Anyone have an auto-dimming rear view mirror that actually works?

    Mine doesn't... auto-dim, that is. It works as a mirror of course

    Mine does work but not to the degree I would like it to. Don't think there's any debris on my sensor (fnarr fnarr) - perhaps the sensitivity gets redeuced with age (tee-hee)?

    Mine works well. Really helps concentration at 150 mph if you arent distracted too much by those flashing blue lights behind you.

    I saw one replaced in our workshop.

    The bill was over half a bag! If mine goes wrong it WON'T be replaced.

    I got one... never driven a car in the dark without it ... so I don't really know how good it is.

    I only realised my car has rain sensing wipers the other day (had it 3 years!)

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

    Mine works too. The sensitivity of it can be adjusted by use of VADIS/VIDA.
