N4eay Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi, has anyone thought about or installed an auto dimming mirror on their Z? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagz Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Definitely thought about it, it feels archaic to have to flip a lever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Comes as standard on my ancient jag, also have the optional extra of auto dimming wing mirrors as well. Not bad for a 15 year old car :grin: think there is one available in the USDM or JDM might be able to retro fit to a UKDM car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy aftermarket ones but its a headache to fit I'm sure I read. BUT do some research it might be pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 If that's the case, I'm guessing you'll need to find a power slice, there is power up there but be careful not to blow the BCM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The Infiniti range, G37 etc have these as standard so I guess there is a way of doing it. Nissan missed a small trick in not puting these in the 350/370 range. The courtesy cars I've had from Infiniti have all had this and I found it a superb addition.

Wayne370Z Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I remember seeing a guide on a DIY fit of an auto dimming rear view mirror, think they used one from a BMW. Can`t find anything on here now so maybe it was on a US site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4eay Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Cheers guys, yes have had a trawl on the net and found some info, mostly American. Just wondered if anyone on here had tried it. Yep, Nissan should have really added one of these as standard. Coming from a range of BMW's over the last 7 years, so getting use to the certain kit difference. Was please to see that the Z has heated and folding wing mirrors though! Plus every time I turn the key it makes me smile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDON Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 yeah there is a thread on the American 350z forum for the auto mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmr1980 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 It's the one thing I miss from my previous cars, such a simple modcon surprised it isn't there by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I have an auto tint rear view mirror. If a car is behind me with full beam on, it just looks like they have sidelights on. Oh, hold on, that might be something to do with my dark tinted rear window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I thought someone had a look at this before on a UK car and failed to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjstr Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Not sure if this will work but hopefully gives a link to a previous thread which contains another link to a thread where someone did it.... Still dimming manually myself but do miss this...my old Jag S Type R had it....and a lovely heated windscreen. http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?/topic/65133-Autodim-Mirror-Mod%2E%2E%2E-350z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
