Auto Dimming Mirrors for a 3.8 Sedan?

[gameday22]

Hi all,


I'm looking to get auto dimming outside mirrors for my 2010 3.8 tech/premium Genesis. I know this is standard on the V8 models but is it possible to get them for the V6? Is there a size difference in the V8 mirror vs. V6?....I would think the wiring is already there since the mirrors are heated but not 100% sure.


Thanks for the feedback

I doubt that it is just a plug-in option.
You may also want to reconsider if you drove a car with them. I have them on my 2012 and I really don't like them. The auto-dimming makes some sense for the interior rear view mirror, but I find that it ruins the useful visibility of the door mirrors and makes it very hard to judge distances at night once they are in dim mode - which they nearly always are if there is traffic behind.

In city I always keep it in the off position for the rear-view so I have maximum visibility but on the highway some people's headlights hitting the side mirrors is ultra bright and very annoying. I just thought they might be nice to have when on the highway and not constantly shifting lanes. Thanks for the info it's truly appreciated

gameday22, did you ever get a answer on this? I'd like the option to do this as well.

my 2010 dims the outside and rear view mirrors. I also have both the tech and premium packages.
