Those with autodim mirrors know that the autodimming portion of the mirror does not extend all the way to the edges of the mirrors. Why this is, I have no idea as going back 22 years worth of cars with autodim I have not had this stupid design on the outside mirrors. So when you are driving and someone comes up behind you get this mirror shape ring of light reflection which, although much better than not having autodim, is really bothersome to me.

I wish to cover the outer rim. Has anyone done such a thing? Perhaps wheel striping vinyl tape? At this point I plan to ghetto it with electrical tape which is how I tend to deal with all unwanted sources of light I can’t turn off.

By the way, I assume there is no way to shut off the display in the gauge cluster is there?

Have the same thing on my Panamera side mirror. It is quite annoying.

That’s a good idea. Anyone done this before?

Another annoyance, they are not heated (at least to my knowledge and I do not see a button). Baffling given my 95 993 and my “utility package” aka negative options, Toyota pick up have heated mirrors. I understand that there is a wiring harness difference so I understand they are not retrofitable but I never personally checked.

To be clear, autodim is worth it at $700 or whatever it was for the reason you identify (bright headlights behind you) but the execution is not the best. So I would retrofit if possible.

Its the side mirrors that make it worth it. Maybe it’s just me, but every sports car I have it’s horrible being blinded from the side mirrors.

That was my initial plan. I need to find some to try it.

The picture on suncoast’s website shows the ring. I’d love for that to be not true, but I believe they all have the ring.

It’s a Porsche thing. Same on my 958 cayenne. It is annoying. Bmw auto dim works well. Full glass dims. I usually leave it off.
