Purpose and function of the mirror

This interior rearview mirror for the Audi Q5 8R is designed to be mounted in the rear of the cabin, centrally in the driver's field of vision. Its automatic dimming feature reduces light reflections, promoting a stable view of the area behind the vehicle while driving at night or in heavy traffic.

The photochromic solution operates continuously, without the need for manual adjustment, improving ergonomics and allowing the driver to focus on driving. The mirror forms a coherent element of the passive safety system, supporting the correct assessment of the distance and speed of vehicles approaching from behind.

Design and fit for the Audi Q5 8R interior

The mirror is finished in a light gray-silver hue, characteristic of Audi's factory interior trim. The neutral color facilitates integration with the headliner, pillars, and dashboard, ensuring the element doesn't dominate the visual appearance while maintaining a modern, uncluttered look.

The housing geometry was developed specifically for the Audi Q5 8R, ensuring the correct field of view and compatibility with the factory windshield mount. This ensures the mirror maintains adequate joint rigidity and image stability even on uneven surfaces.

Technical condition and benefits of choosing a used part

This item comes from the used rearview mirror segment, allowing for cost-effective replacement while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. The mirror is designed for continued use, offering a reasonable compromise between cost and factory-quality workmanship.

Choosing an original, used interior mirror ensures:

• maintaining a consistent interior aesthetic with other furnishings,
• proper fit to the vehicle's factory mount and installation,
• maintaining the automatic dimming function provided by the manufacturer.

Safety, ergonomics and driving comfort

Automatic mirror dimming reduces eye strain on longer journeys, especially on highways. A stable field of view and accurate image reproduction support quick decision-making, which is crucial when changing lanes, overtaking, or maneuvering on dark roads.

Thanks to the unique photochromatic solution, the driver gains more comfortable viewing conditions without having to manually switch mirror modes. This is a practical solution for users who expect predictable performance and consistent quality of interior components.
