That all sounds the muts nuts to have, :bowdown: didn’t realise mine didn’t have auto dim rear view mirror for the first week i owned it. Then wondered why i was being blinded all the time, couldn’t believe it was an option on such an expense car when new. :audibash: (even wifes corsa has it) I Looked into a retro fit but don’t think it would be very cost effective.

Had my '57 reg Avant since June 2009, upgrading from my '07 reg S4 saloon which I bought new so it was spec'd as I wanted. Looked for months for the right car (had to have comfort seats and a silver roof lining). The Avus one I bought just happened to have the black optics pack, which I'm really pleased about now as I think it compliments it well ( and no tarnished trims!) The only option I had on the S4 which I miss and if it wasn't too much of a hassle to retrofit was the leaving home / coming home function with the auto lights. But that's a small price to pay for such an iconic and stunning car!!

In my Googling on these cars, I believe that's straightforward to retrofit...

Thanks Dave. Seems a bit tight not to include at least that part as standard - there would be no need for any additional controls (it just activates based on reverse switch and position of mirror selector) and it can't cost much for a module to remember return mirror angle...

Doesn't it involve replacing the windscreen to accommodate the sensor, a new rear view mirror with sensor and a new light switch for the auto lights position - that is assuming the necessary additional wiring is already in the car? Or is the sensor on the windscreen behind the mirror just a rain sensor for auto wipers...? This question isn't really about this poll though, sorry!
