Default Electrochromic Mirrors

Anyway to tell if a car has the electrochromic mirrors (DDO package) installed just by looking? Any visual clues?
Perhaps someone has pictures of the interior rear view mirror in a Z06 with the eletrochromic option? How about a mirror pic without the dimming feature installed on the car? Thanks. :chevy

There is an on/off switch on the front of rear view mirror as well as a small sensor. If you don't have the electrochromic mirrors, you won't have these.

:iagree: You'll also note the tiny green light when it is turned on. The inside and driver's mirror will both dim when lights behind them are too bright. :chevy

I'm pretty sure they all do on mine, I don't use it much but I would check the manual and see what it says.

:iagree: driver's and rearview mirrors only. No dimming passenger mirror; that might add extra weight. :D
