Purpose and function of the mirror

The presented interior mirror is designed as a component mounted in the rear area of the cabin, in place of the factory mirror above the windshield. The design is intended for use with vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, which promotes comfortable, smooth driving in city traffic and on the highway. The use of the automatic dimming feature reduces glare from the lights of vehicles behind, and the built-in camera can be part of advanced driver assistance systems, depending on the vehicle configuration.

Automatic dimming technology and camera

The mirror uses an automatic dimming layer that automatically darkens the reflective surface in response to intense light from behind the vehicle. This allows the driver to maintain good visibility while reducing eye fatigue during night driving. The integrated camera located in the mirror housing can work with onboard systems, such as safety assistants or environment monitoring systems, which increases the overall level of interior functionality.

Benefits of using an original Audi mirror

Using an original Audi interior mirror ensures:

• Factory fitment to the headliner, windshield, and the vehicle's electrical installation.
• Visual consistency with other cockpit elements and high-quality workmanship typical of the Audi brand.
• The ability to maintain or restore the full functionality of systems based on the camera located at the mirror.
• Stable operation of the automatic dimming system, without the need for additional dimming accessories.

The item belongs to the Rear view mirrors group, which facilitates the selection of appropriate components for repairs or interior upgrades.

Condition and installation aspects

The mirror is offered as a used part, which allows for economical repair while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Installation takes place in the factory mount on the windshield, using the existing wiring harness, provided the vehicle is prepared for this type of equipment. In practice, this means limiting adaptation work and the ability to quickly restore full functionality of the rear visibility zone.

Application in service and upgrades

This interior mirror will work well both for standard replacement of a damaged element and for interior upgrades towards a richer equipment configuration. Thanks to the presence of the camera and automatic dimming, you can achieve a higher level of driving comfort, especially in night conditions and with heavy traffic behind the vehicle.
