Technical characteristics of the photochromatic mirror

The Mercedes W205's auto-dimming interior rearview mirror uses a photochromatic coating that responds to the intensity of light coming from behind the vehicle. This reduces the risk of glare from other cars, improving comfort and safety when driving at night and on highways.

This element was developed as part of a passive safety system, maintaining appropriate structural rigidity and stable attachment to the windshield. Using an original mirror from this series allows for maintaining the correct field of view geometry and compliance with the manufacturer's factory standards.

Intended use and fitment for Mercedes W205

This rearview mirror is designed for installation inside the cabin, in the driver's rear field of view. The design is designed to integrate with the dashboard, headliner, and pillar covers of Mercedes W205 models, facilitating a consistent interior aesthetic.

The original component ensures proper integration with the vehicle's electrical system, particularly the power supply for the photochromatic mirror. A used part allows for cost-effective replacement of a damaged component while maintaining Mercedes-Benz quality standards.

Used condition - practical benefits

The mirror is offered in used condition, which is a good option for users looking for original components at a reasonable price. These types of components typically retain full functionality of the adjustment mechanism and the photochromatic coating, with normal signs of wear typical of a vehicle's interior.

Choosing a used interior mirror also benefits the environment – reusing a functional component reduces waste and the need to manufacture new parts. For many Mercedes W205 owners, this represents a sensible compromise between quality and vehicle maintenance costs.

Why is it worth choosing an original Mercedes rearview mirror?

The use of the original interior rear-view mirror in the Mercedes W205 ensures:

• factory fit for mounting on the windshield and interior trim elements,
• correct field of view in accordance with the manufacturer's design assumptions,
• consistent style with other cockpit elements,
• maintaining the automatic dimming function, which increases the comfort of driving at night.

For owners who want to keep their car in a configuration close to the factory one, installing an original photochromatic mirror is a technically safe and aesthetically consistent solution.
