Silly question but you haven't turned off the polarising filter? The little button on the bottom of the mirror, in the middle?

PS The green light at the base of the mirror should illuminate if the mirror is "on".

Hajb, I have the same problem. Just noticed it the other day. It appears that the auto dimming feature is Kaputt! Green led on but doesn't appear to dim.
Do you know how the dealer testred it? Did they just hook it up and test for fault codes or did they actually see if the mirror dimmed? I'm thinking of taking it in for them to look at it, don't want to be fobbed off.

My Vrs auto mirror seems to take a few seconds to properly dim if the following car is a bit glarey, and it isn't as subdued as the manual dipping mirror on the Transporter.

yes its on. the button is green but the lights in the dont go green any more when i took it to the dealer they put the car in the wash bay because its the only place its dark and put a car at the with the head lights on and the technician said it was working i have taking it back after talking to some else they said they will order a new mirror and call me when it comes in they have tested but fault codes came up

Looks like a trip in for me to get it fixed. Hajb, can you let me know how long it takes. Hope it's only a short time to fix as I'll wait for it.
Where did you take it?
By the way, first waranty claim in 2 year and 9 months! Might get them to look at slight intermitent buzz in door pillar.

Mine has never worked satisfactorily from day 1. It initially took ~20 seconds to dim at all in response to following bright lights.

I covered the sensor (on the front of the mirror) with 2 layers of window-tint film to trick the sensors into thinking the lights following were brighter than the light level in front of the car. This made the internal mirror tint more quickly, but still not to the level comfortable for me.

I'd really just rather a simple day/night mirror. I've never had a problem with those.

Did you ever consider going back to your dealer to get it fixed? Mine works perfectly and I can't fault it.

its easy to test the mirror!! all you have to do is to park the car outside in the direct sunlight then cover the light sensor at the front of the mirror with your finger. this tricks the mirror to think its dark and then dims it because there is still lots of light hitting the face of it

I leave it.. I noticed that it doesnt really work with cars that have LEDS...

You meant xenons??

I don't use it either...the green tint is just too weird for me so I just angle it in a way that light reflection doesn't come directly into my eyes (lift up my head if I need to see behind)

Whats the diff between the two... ones bigger the other is smaller?

Are Xenons worth the money?
