Default No more exterior auto dim mirrors?

I was just noticing that exterior auto dim mirrors don't come with cross traffic anymore for 2016. Anyone notice this too? Or am I missing something? Thanks -Kevin.

So I'm guessing they just don't show it on the window sticker anymore? Because I thought Blind spot came with auto dim?

my 2016 has BSM and auto dim exterior mirrors, I was surprised about it actually because the sales guy didn't mention it and it's a nice feature!

is that second window sticker yours? the online configurator shows that the luxury package allows for one to have blind spot monitoring/rear cross-traffic alert with auto dimming mirrors. i know the luxury package isn't compatible with the f-sport package, so i guess not?

nevermind, the guy above me posted that he has both features on a '16 that i assume to be an f-sport because you posted pictures of f-sport window stickers, although he could have a non-f-sport model with the luxury package.

what year is your car? '14, '15 or '16? because the first window sticker has both auto-dimming mirrors and rear-cross traffic alert/blind-spot monitoring, although i'm assuming that your car isn't a '16 as you've been pointing out that the '16s don't (ostensibly) have said features bundled together.

Yea seems the 2016s don't come with the auto-dimming exterior mirrors with the BSM package. Either that or it's not explicitly stated anymore. Kinda weird since it's a nice feature to have.

Okay great job for confirming! I guess they just decided to take it off the sticker compared to the window stickers on the 14 and 15's.

I wonder if this is a US or international feature? I don't have dimming side mirrors on my IS (F-Sport Series 3 package). Canadian owners chime in?

Does BSM in the Fsport or Premium package come with auto tilt down on reverse?

For some reason I haven't noticed it dim at night. I can obviously tell the rear mirror dims but the side ones are hard to tell. I have 2014 model.
