Auto-dimming side mirrors, standard?
Apparently my '15 GS base has auto dimming side mirrors, but it's not noticeable at all. Prior cars it was clear it turned blue or green or what have you. I don't see it at all.
I've tried covering the sensor and the interior mirror goes blue but side stay the same.
Any info on this?

I thought the same thing and have had dealer check to make sure everything was working correctly. They tested it and said everything was fine. I think the sensor isn't mounted very well and they make the side mirrors dimming feature very subtle. It also seems to be speed dependent, but I could be wrong. I feel like it works great on the highway, but on local streets it doesn't.

what bothers me is that the side mirrors on 2015s have a bronze tint which messes with the optics when viewed through my tinted windows. I am going to tint my mirrors to work around the issue. You will notice prior years have untinted sideview mirrors.
