Rearview Mirror Light Setting

Hey all,

When you first start your car, the rearview mirror's darkening feature is on - I would prefer for it to be off.

Is there a way to change the default setting for the mirror to off?

Thanks

Chas

In the manual it says turn it off when not in use, but the defualt is on. Hmmm. I never turn mine off, personally.

Haha, funny. People pay over $100 for those autodimming mirrors on eBay, you peeps don't like the feature. Now the '05 Max even has autodimming side mirrors, I guess that's the latest auto fad.
