the auto-dimming rear-view mirror in my 2015 Chrysler 300S (AWD) has never dimmed enough; if i find myself driving ahead of someone who has their high beams on, the glare from their headlights is a major distraction and i have to put up my rear window sunshade to diffuse the glare a bit. the guys at my local dealership looked at the problem and determined that the mirror was "functioning normally"...which means this is a design flaw.

two workarounds i'm considering are:

a) tinting the windows (including the rear window) as dark as the law will allow, and/or

b) seeing if i can switch out the stock mirror (in my $50,000.00 car) for an aftermarket one that functions correctly.

i had an auto-dimming rear-view mirror in my previous vehicle - a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser - and never once had a problem with it in about four years of ownership (and a lot of nighttime miles). why the mirror in my more expensive and far more luxurious Chrysler shouldn't function satisfactorily is a mystery to me.
