ok.. i konw i have the home link.. i have it set to open 3 different gates...

but then there is two buttons.. one turns the green light on.. one turns the green light off...

i dont have the compass feature in mine... (if its available)

i have never seen the mirror dim or get clearer if the light is on or off...



performance trim..

 

I believe its related to the dimming mirror... donno why it doesnt function with it.

 

does that mean my dimming mirror doesnt work???

 

try a flashlight?

Ive wondered as well, cause Ive never seen a definitive action from it.

but never really taken the time to test it out with a flashlight or anything.

 

ive had people with thier brights BLAIRING on my car... specially with an SUV behind you at a drive thru...

my guess is it doesnt do sh*t!

ill ask the dealer when i bring it in..

 

your nismo wing blocks too much of the light but if you want to check it out here's what you do. With the green light on during daylight hours feel the backside of the mirror for a hole and cover it with your finger, this is the forward light sensor. The mirror should dim in a few seconds because the rearward facing sensor is getting much more light than the forward.

 

it never dimmed when i didnt have my nismo wing....

and the nismo wing doesnt block that much....

but ill try that...

 

It doesn't dim a whole lot, and it doesn't change immediately when you turn it on and off, its a gradual change that takes about 5 seconds, and thats probably why it seems like it doesn't do anything.

 

ive had this feature in two of my past cars.. an explorer and a toyota avalon... and in my dads es300...

they were all visual... takes a few seconds.. turns a little blueish...

does the z one not change color? and not get darker?


every day i find something else wrong with my car now...

im really bad feathering / this thing doesnt work / i think my tranny is grinding.. when i shift into gears it always feels rough... i dunno..

 

It turns a greenish color. Its definitly noticable as the first few days of having it really bugged the crap outta me. Now i don't even notice, but it does do its job.

 

Mine just get a green tint to the reflections as well.

 

When the green light is on, it is supposed to be functioning. Green light off, means the feature is turned off. As far as the compass goes, they show this feature if you buy the mirror as an aftermarket..........but the compass is not on any of the production mirrors. Don't know why this is..........I thought I had been cheated out of a compass at first.

 

I think the compass comes only in touring model only.

 

nope, no compass in the touring, I think its aftermarket only, not sure why.

 

yeah i thought i got cheeted out of the compass..

im not sure my mirror is working...

ill look again tonight..

 

Yeah..It turns everything greenish as though you are in the Matrix. Take the other pill. You'll see.

 

For what it's worth, the auto-dimming mirror in my Audi doesn't dim enough at all. You can definitely see it get darker, but it doesn't get nearly dark enough for my sensitive eyes. I like the idea of auto-dimming mirrors, but I sure wish they'd get darker, such as on manual mirrors when you flip the lever and the mirror gets *super* dark.

 

really? I could swear that someone here said they had compass stock on their touring. hmm maybe he was in canada?

 

KONVERTER I tested mine at night by turning on the lights right by the sunglass holder. Like 2003z said it take a few seconds to go into affect.

Just try leaving those lights on and messing around with your mirror. You should definitely see if it works or not that way.
