I have just bought a 2004 crossfire in Australia. Really pleased with it but the auto dim rearview mirror LCD is broken and I need to source a replacement. I have seen the Gentex K2 online and I am wondering if anyone ships to Australia and is it an easy job to replace the existing unit.

 

Well i'm an Aussie as well and have the same problem, stealership quoted $1100 Aus to replace, are they available in the USA and how much would they be? Any info would be greatly appreciated, Cheers Exocet

Thanks Mate!

 

At the risk of sounding like a dummy ( I guess I had better get used to it!) - do all Crossfires have this mirror? (I have an '05 Coupe). What exactly does auto dim mean?

 

No, only the first model year ('04) had the auto dimming rear view mirror. Instead of turning a **** to get the headlights behind you to dim, the auto dimming feature does it by changing the mirror surface. I guess it's activated by a sensor, there are more facts on the forum somewhere.

 

Electrochromic technology made by Gentex or Donnelly (now Magna) have a light sensor and automatically dims the mirrors. My A6 has it on the rear and both outside mirrors. When I bought my roadster, I received a Chrysler questionnaire and the main feedback was that I strongly believed a $37k car should come standard with all three auto-dimming mirrors. Cheap bastards.

If you Aussies cannot find a replacement mirror, email me at jjaiven@chartermi.net I live in the same town where Gentex is headquartered and can make some inquiries.
