Functionality of the Electric Mirror

This mirror is an electrically controlled body part, allowing for convenient adjustment of the mirror surface from within the vehicle's cabin. This type of solution:

• facilitates precise adjustment of the driver's field of vision,
• speeds up setting corrections after a change of driver,
• ensures repeatability and stability of the mirror's position during operation.

By retaining the factory adjustment system design, the mirror integrates seamlessly with the vehicle's electrical system as intended by the manufacturer, promoting trouble-free operation.

Scuba Blue Metallic X5Q Color and Body Aesthetics

The mirror housing is finished in Scuba Blue Metallic X5Q, a color characteristic of Audi's paint palette. This allows for visual consistency with other body elements, reducing the need for additional painting. For owners of vehicles in this shade, it is a practical solution that simplifies restoring a uniform appearance to the side of the body after damage to the original mirror.

Characteristics of a Used OEM Part

The offered mirror is a used part, originating from original Audi production. Such components retain factory geometry, material quality, and compliance with the manufacturer's safety standards. In practice, this means:

• secure fitment to the door and side panel,
• maintenance of proper field of vision and stability while driving,
• stylistic consistency with other body elements of the Audi A5 8T.
