Default auto dimming rear view mirror

the new celebration pack. [$500 sun roof] sounds pretty good but is it worth it considering all the reported complaints about the included auto dim rear view mirror? anyone like that thing?

I actually like the auto dim mirror, works great even with my tinted windows.

Default I love mine. No complaints at all. I got the whole package just for it.

What's even better is the dimming of the side mirrors. That way even a tailgating suburban won't be that bad.

Christian, does tinting make it difficult to see the rings in the 3rd brake light at all?

Default Go drive it and see for yourself. I love mine!

Especially the side mirrors. I can't believe how many people are jealous of those.

Default It's wierd at first, but you'll come to like it.

The only downside is that it is very difficult to pick out the headlights of "authority figures" at night. If you find that you just don't like it, you can cover up the light sensor on the mirror, and it will disable the dimming function.
