Default Auto dim

Is there a way to make the rear view mirror dim more? I think it needs to be 20% darker!

Or... why don't you try tinting your rear window. That helps reduce the glare a lot.

Yeah. The dimming feature don't seem to work very well or maybe I'm not doing something right. It just seems to change everything to a green tint. Just as bright but headlights are green.

Thats how all these mirrors work.. by turning that green color.

Headlights still can be bright, but they aren't as distracting. Its not as dark as a 'flip' mirror, but you can see more.

On mine it does seem to make things darker, but its not super dark. I like it.

Funny. I think the auto dim works great. For me it seems to reduce the bright glare off the headlights that you normally get. Turn it off once while you have someone right behind you, and you will see what a difference it makes.

yeah.... that was sarcasm.... I still havent figured out how to make that come across in text.

Id say either tint the back window, or just move the mirror away... I mean, isnt that what a "flip" mirror does? just pops the reflection up. maybe Im wrong there.

You can always use the "rolling eyes" face-------

That should get your point right across......
