Does the limited have an auto dimming rear view mirror? I don't remember anybody mentioning that in any of the base vs. limited threads. What other than the mirror is different from the 2?

 

I believe that was a 2004 only feature...

 

ben is correct... only on '04 crossfires.

 

My '04 has the auto dimming rear view mirror, but it's not the best...I used to have a 2005 Altima SL and it had a very nice auto dimming mirror. You could tell it was working and it looked a little nicer...

 

true only 2004.

 

My '04 Coupe has the auto dimming mirror, I like it.

I never thought I'd love a mirror as much as I love the auto dimming mirror.

 

About a month ago I posted something about the dimming mirror not always being a blessing at times. Like not being able to make out exactly what or who is following you.
Well, last week I was coming home from Pittsburg when I got off the interstate just north of the airport, just so I could enjoy the "curvy" secondary roads that run between Ohio and Penn. The road I was on actually takes me thru a little section of W.Va also.
Traffic was very light, and I was able to run some of the deserted sections at well above the posted speed limit. My biggest fear was a deer jumping out in front of me, but that didn't happen.
After about a 1/2 hour of enjoying the smooth, twisty, and hilly road, I noticed some head lights cresting the hills behind me. I continued on at a brisk rate, and every time the road straightened out I noticed the car was closing on me. I gradually slowed down, and finally the car caught up with me and glued himself to my bumper. I still kept going a little over the posted speed limit for awhile when wouldn't you know it, on goes the flashing lights. I finally found a place to pull over, and as soon as I do, he goes flying past me and proceeds out of sight. Feeling like I needed to change my shorts, I continued the rest of the way home in a more sedate manner. A few miles down the road, I see the cruiser at a gas station filling up, so I know he was just messing with me. I bet he had a good laugh.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that if it hadn't been for the automatic dimming mirror, I would have been able to see his light bar as soon as he got close to me and I would have slowed down long before I did.
I wish there was a switch that would enable me to turn it off if I wanted to.

 

That "switch" is called electrical tape. Just put something over the rearward-facing photocell and the mirror will never dim. Put something over the forward-facing photocell and you will have a permanently dimmed mirror.

 

Yeah, I guess I should have taken my own advice from a month ago. Thanks for reminding me Bobs.
You know what they say, it's hell getting old.

 

Auto dimming mirror, well to each their own and i love mine.
In march '04 i bought my first new graphite auto xfire and loved lived and had loads of fun with it, and everything about it.
Aug '06 i trade it in for a machine gray auto, the first eevning the first thing i miss well the second actually, cup holder was first. (that’s another story). Anyway some gooney drives up behind me at a stop light with millions of kk watts of lights and blinds me for a minute.
So next day back to the dealer who says never knew they had one, oh it in the USA spec only, your old xfire was a one off, blah blah.
Well after 2 months of wrangling talking and quoting advertising magazines the local chrysler dealer Kings of Stockport UK nicely fitted one for free, FREE today.
Many thanks to them.
I think the advertisement for the ACTUAL CAR that i bought which stated it had the auto dimming mirror swung the decision,
Whilst i was at the showroom today a guy collected his new SRT and guess what? A standard fit mirror.
Thanks again to Kings, i am a happy chapie, anyone want to swap a cupholder!
