  • Auto dim door mirror

    I have the driver door mirror that dims just like the rear view mirror and I can't get on with it, absolutely hate it when in fast moving traffic in dark, with out just getting std replacement is there any other option to switch this off, I don't mind the rear view mirror dimming but not the door.

      Caveman option, locate wire, remove it. If you don't mind taking it apart

        Well my mirrors are power fold, thinking about trying to locate wire and just remove it from plug, notice if I place my hand behind rear view mirror it stops the dimming worse case scenario new heated glass will be fitted, is just point blank stupid you can't see cars in you side mirrors at night just pair of headlights and is difficult to judge if you have space to pull out or you going to cut someone up well that's my excuse [emoji16]

          It is frustrating, my old Saab had auto dimming interior and driver mirrors, but I could turn them off easily enough. Was in the dash settings

            I can't find any setting in intallink on this insignia, so might have to take drastic action tomorrow.

              It's the sort of setting that used to reset itself every now and then anyway. At least drastic action is permanent haha
