C7 Z06 with 3LZ...does it not come with auto-dimming passenger mirrors?
I’ve had my car for almost a year now, and honestly i just noticed it doesn’t have an auto dimming passenger mirror, only a drivers and rear view mirror. Is that just how they are? Or did my car perhaps get a wrong mirror thrown on, because I’ve never seen a car come equipped like this before...
Thanks!

Not sure when that began but all prior-gen (C6s) came that way, too---driver's side and interior rearview are auto-dimming.

i don't recall ever having a dimming passenger side mirror on any vehicle i've owned including high end luxury cars/trucks with adaptive cruise, braking etc.?
more important to me is why my Vented Seats BLOW air through the holes vs suck air from your clothes and exit rear and bottom like EVERY OTHER CAR ON THE PLANET INCLUDING ALL GM's..that renders the "cooling" effect mute after 15 minutes.. on my other vehicles i used to have to turn the venting function down to keep from being too cool lol.

All of my C7s had the same setup. I also thought it was odd that they didn't include the passenger mirror.
Then again I thought it odd that they didn't immediately offer front cameras for a car that is so low and in peril from curbs etc.

Due to the shape of a passenger side mirror it is problematic to have it dim. In particular it distorts the distance to the viewed object as is printed right on the mirror. Dimming this only makes the problem worse. Neither my Mercedes E550 coupe or Lexus LS 460 had a dimming passenger side mirror.
