Auto dimming rear mirror -retrofit options?
oct3br replied to oct3br's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
But that's it I was able to turn previous one on off by button but I found it work well. Question is if I actually have auto dimming with new car or is this the standard mirror with some sensor on rear for something else? -
Auto dimming rear mirror -retrofit options?
oct3br replied to oct3br's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
See attached picture of my new car mirror. Has the design changed for auto dimming mirrors as this is different to my previous RS MY15 auto dimming mirror which had button on/off on bottom and sensors to front and rear?. Can anyone confirm this is the new auto dimming mirror. Only have the car 2 days and so not got chance to check at night but did place hand on rear sensor to check if mirror dimmed but no luck. If this is not the auto dimming mirror then what is this rear sensor? Thanks -

thanks for confirming . As was spec'd on car order and not delivered I am going to try get the dealer to do it! At least now know it is possible. -
Hi Is it possible to retrofit auto dimming mirror to car with standard mirror? Car has rain sensor already and so assume a power source is already there and possibly just a switch over of units with auto dimming feature activated? Reason is I took delivery of new RS car and whilst ordered Auto dimming the car only has folding mirrors but non auto dimming rear mirror :-( I want to check here whilst also asking dealer of possible retrofit. Thanks

Hi I have Gtechniq coatings on my Vrs and looking at top up Quick detailers and besides the Gtech QD was wondering is there a better one recommended as read reviews that the Gtech does not bring out shine etc? Just wondering are QD's specific to certian waxes/sealants etc as dont want to effect the C1/C5 coating on the car already. Also, not sure is it best to apply QD on wet or dry car? Thanks

Sorry , Yes I am ordering from Ireland and looking at the spec sheet it says ''Alarm with interior monitoring, back up horn and towing protection'' as additional option!!! It appears it only comes with immobiliser as standard? this is disappointing for a new car to come without alarm as standard :| I will check with the dealer but any Ireland owners on here confirm this?
