Automatic dimming rear view mirror - Do these things really work? S80

posted by  someone claiming to be G Squared on  Wed Aug 7 17:04 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have an automatic dimming rear view mirror on my 2001 S80 2.9. But it does not seem to work. There is no noticeable dimming that occurs at night, like a traditional rear view mirror with a manual lever. Headlights behind me look just the same as with a regular mirror, leading to eye fatigue and uncomfortable driving.

The local Volvo dealer checked it out on their computer system and found no error codes. But then again, when the service manager shined a flashlight directly into the sensor, he could not see any dimming happening either.

Anyone else experience the same thing? Does your automatic dimming rear view mirror really work? Can anyone lend any helpful info?

Thank you.
