    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Is It Possible To Swap Base Sideview Mirrors For Auto-Dimming Mirrors?

Howdy Y'all!

I'm taking delivery of a 2020 G70 2.0 Sport MT tomorrow morning! I do most of my driving at night, in the land of lifted pickup trucks, auto dimming sideview mirrors would make a world of difference. Unfortunately, the 2.0 Sport MT didn't come equipped with them as far as I can tell looking at spec sheets. Is it possible to swap the base ones with the auto dimming ones from a higher trim? Has this been done before?
 
Dimming of the side view mirrors is not a self contained function. The inside rear view mirror controls them. You would need to have the correct interior mirror and the correct wiring between it and the side view mirrors.
 
Have you asked the dealer about this? They might know if it's possible.

Sorry I should have been more specific in my original post. I was more curious if all G70s have the wiring and if it's as simple as removing and replacing all the necessary parts, or if I would need to do wiring as well.

Have you asked the dealer about this? They might know if it's possible.
I'm going tomorrow to get the car checked out, might as well ask while I'm there. Was intending on doing it myself, but hopefully they'll know if it's even possible.
 
Don't have any help with this but cool you found that MT-equipped G70, should be a fun one!
 
If you can switch the mirrors I think you’ll find the cost of the upgraded mirrors would be very high and may not be worth it.

The window sticker for my 2019 3.3t Prestige lists dimming side mirrors as a "standard feature." I wouldn't think Genesis would make dimming side mirrors standard on the 3.3 and not on the 2.0. Not sure though.

3.3 is an upgrade. Typically car companies add features when they add horsepower.

I don’t think so. This is all it says about mirror from the sticker
2020 G70 RWD 2.0T
SPORT M/T
COMFORT & CONVENIENCE
Heated Outside Mirrors with LED Turn Signal

It’s a $38k model. No frills it seems.
