As i know not avilable in Sri lanka, btw check this link, they ship world wide via "USPS First Class Mail International" so its safe 35+19.95= 54.95 us$ but the problem is, does this thing worthy the 6000Rs u spend ??

It's fairly standard in all the high end cars, and that's probably why you've never heard about it.

Point noted..! Will look out for it when I step into one, next.. or rather when driving it at night...

Guys,

A lot of VW's had this type fitted since the late 90's, needs a power supply as it uses a photo sensitive cell to detect a car behind you with lights flashing at your mirror and activated a motor to dip it automatically.

Never seen an after market supplier of these, may be the internet can help you there.

go looking through some expensive cars and if you don't see the little lever to dip the mirror for glare and you can see a little LED like thingy to detect the light, it's most probably an auto dimming unit. Then take that info over to a parts store and see if they got it.

On recent cars the mirror doesn't actually dip. It just turns it reflectivity down with a greenish hue...

That's exactly the mechanism I've seen in Peugeots, but this blue /greenish hue become visible even on daylight as time passes.. probably a defect in this technology, dipping down using a motor is less troublesome i guess
