Characteristics and functions of the photochromatic mirror

The interior rearview mirror with auto-dimming function significantly reduces glare from vehicles behind. A light sensor automatically adjusts the tint, improving comfort and visibility at night and in changing light conditions. This provides the driver with a stable field of vision without the need for manual adjustments.

The integrated camera is an additional module that can interface with vehicle systems designed for this generation. This solution is particularly useful in cars equipped with advanced assistance systems, where precise camera positioning in the mirror area is crucial for the proper operation of the on-board systems.

Purpose, assembly and integration with the vehicle

This mirror belongs to the rearview mirror category and is intended for use in the vehicle interior, in the rear cabin area, in place of the factory windshield mount. The design is intended for use with cars equipped with automatic transmissions, facilitating compliance with the vehicle's original configuration.

The unique design ensures a proper fit with the headliner, pillar covers, and wiring harnesses designed for this model series. This simplifies workshop installation and reduces the need for system modifications. In practice, this translates into shorter service times and a reduced risk of integration issues with the vehicle's electronics.

Condition, serviceability and benefits of choosing a used part

This part is offered as a used part, providing a reasonable compromise between cost and functionality when performing accident repairs, replacing a damaged mirror, or restoring full functionality of power steering systems. Choosing an original mirror from a used car allows you to maintain the visual integrity of the interior and compliance with factory equipment specifications.

This solution is particularly beneficial in situations where maintaining the original photochromic and camera performance parameters is required, as well as proper fitment to existing brackets and wiring harnesses. This allows the mirror to be used both as a replacement for a damaged component and as a complementary accessory during a professional vehicle restoration.
