2025 DRVM Auto-Dimming

[mstruzz]

Hi folks,

I've got an issue (annoyance?) that I've tried getting information on, but doesn't seem to be anywhere and of course the dealer is useless. I have a 2025 Rebel, loaded with the Digital Rear View Mirror and the tow mirrors. All three mirrors have auto-dim capability. When driving around at night, the auto-dim almost never engages on any of the mirrors - regardless of whether it is in Digital mode or regular mode. But - when I hold a flashlight up to the rearview mirror (in both modes), all three will dim. So I know the dimming works, but for whatever reason the sensor inside of the mirror is not sensitive enough to engage at night. Which is annoying and kind of the point of the feature.

I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else? Or any solutions?

Thanks!
Matt

It's possible the sensor on the mirror is bad. You could put a piece of black tape over the sensor on the front of the mirror. The mirrors should dim. You may need the headlights on too. Make sure there is nothing lighting up that sensor area. It will cause it to think it is still daylight.

Thanks Vincent - I tried that but no dice. I'll have to bring it in to see if they can get a new mirror, but before I made a big stink of it I wanted to make sure this wasn't a known issue
