    Hi, can someone please advise if this feature just missing in my car or in yours as well. My interior rear view mirror has this auto dimming function and it works very well. However reading the owners manual and brochure - it says it comes as standard in my GT trim but never able to see it working or can distinguish the right hand side mirror against the left hand passenger one. Googling I can see if this feature is available, the driver side mirror looks slightly different with a black line and concave like shape I think.

    Can someone please check and confirm if this is something missing in mine or the UK models? thanks

    On my previous Passat B7 Executive both interior mirror and drivers side mirror dimmed. My B8 GT I have a mirror Taxi meter over the interior mirror so my drivers side mirror doesn’t appear to dim as I’m sure this works with what the interior mirror does but could be wrong.

    Thanks for checking and confirming, so I take it B8 UK models don't have this feature for drivers side mirror which is a real shame. I like the interior rear view feature and nicely it works. Any way to retro fit it to drivers side mirror????

    Just checked my car and it might actually have a auto dimming drivers side mirror.

    Apart from the blind spot mirror the glass in the drivers side also differs from the passenger side in that it has two faint lines around the edge of the glass. I suppose these could be heating elements but the manual states that both interior and drivers side mirrors are auto dimming. Never really noticed it as I rarely drive in the hours of darkness.

    Is this UK variant of the Passat B8 we are talking? If so then it could part of if you have the optional blind spot monitoring pack, not sure. I was under the impression that it would as standard if we have the inside rear view auto dimming one available in GT and R-line trim levels.
