Technical characteristics of the photochromatic mirror

This rearview mirror is a rearview mirror designed specifically for the Audi Q2 GA, Q3, and A3 8Y models. Its photochromatic technology automatically darkens the mirror surface in strong rear light, improving image clarity and reducing driver eye fatigue.

The element is factory-adapted for installation inside the cabin, in the driver's rear field of view. The mirror's design is compatible with the factory mounts used in the models mentioned, making installation easier and maintaining visual consistency with the rest of the interior.

Intended use and fitment for Audi models

Audi's auto-dimming rearview mirror was developed for specific body generations, ensuring the proper field of vision and ergonomic positioning relative to the driver. The carefully selected shape and geometry of the mirror pane support precise assessment of the situation behind the vehicle, which is important both in city traffic and on highways.

As an original part, the mirror maintains stylistic consistency with the dashboard, headliner, and other Audi interior components. It's a solution for owners who want to maintain the vehicle's factory character while also utilizing the advanced automatic dimming function.

Used condition - practical benefits

This product is in used condition, representing a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality. Many users find it a cost-effective way to replace a damaged or worn mirror while maintaining the original build quality typical of the Audi brand.

Choosing a used photochromatic mirror allows you to:

• maintain the factory fit for the vehicle installation,
• maintain a consistent interior appearance,
• reduce the cost of repair compared to a new element,
• reduce waste by reusing functional components.

Driving safety and comfort

Photochromic technology in the rearview mirror improves driving comfort at night and in heavy traffic. Automatic dimming reduces glare, making it easier to maintain concentration and a stable eye position on the road. This is especially important on longer journeys, when eye strain can affect the driver's reaction time.

The use of an original rear-view mirror in Audi vehicles supports the proper functioning of safety systems that can use the position and geometry of the mirror as a reference point for components installed nearby (e.g. sensors in the windscreen area).
