Anti Dazzle Rear Mirro

[Deleted member 12175]

Has anyone got the anti dazzle rear view mirror on the Seat Ibiza FR?

If so does anyone know what the 2 red lights that are on permenatly are for?

I've got it in my Sport - when it's dark, those lights cast a dim glow below similar to that in the Passat W8, and higher class cars such as Beemers/Mercs etc .

Did you guys fit this mirror in yourself or did it come with your car? My 2006 FR doesn't have one and I would like one!

It came with the car! It was part of the luxury pack 2 optional extra with the folding mirrors and auto rain sensing wipers

 

[justlivyalife]

Yeah as said, came with the car!

Wish I didn't have to reset the wipers every time I started the car though, a friend has a Polo and hers start again when she starts the engine!

Yeah it is annoying! I wish my folding mirrors would fold when i take the key out of the ignition and fold back out when i start the engine

I have the folding mirrors on mine but not auto wipers. I bought the car used so no options for me, sadly.

The red leds I think are well cool! They light up the dashboard slightly great for when you've a drink in the holder or routing around in the little tray under the climate control area! I think they act as a barrier, once broken they activate the auto dimming? Could be mistaken tho...

can one be fitted to cars that dont have one as standard? as they seem quite cool...

drove my car in the dark for the first time at the weekend, loved the auto-dipping rear-view mirror, also noticed the red lights on the bottom of the mirror, no idea what they are for apart from to light up the dials any tray under the centre console.

Submarine Lights - is the terminology for the lights you are refering too

does anyone know if the folding mirrors can be retro fitted?

i put the passat w8 light in mine for a better light output in my sport as it sucks not like the fr and cupra ones unless added extra...

does anyone know if you can buy the anti dazzle rear view mirror for a seat ibiza cupra and if so where can you buy it from

I've got great interior lights in the polo, got three up front and two in the back! So much better than just one like in the beeza, least you can see what ya doing!

Anti-dazzle rear view mirrors and folding door mirrors, how I do miss these features!

Do you think this could be activated in vag com?

Im afraid you are, the mirror antidazle function is activated from the little sensor next to the green LED light

Seeing as most of you have the feature any way seems a shame to start a new thread, do any of you have problems with the headlight washers putting them selves away after use?

I used to have this problem with the washers on my old ibiza fr. Seat removed and put a new pop up washer jet in
