Technical characteristics and intended use
This Mercedes W211 / CLS C219 interior rearview mirror is designed for rear-view mirror installation. It's designed to work with the factory windshield mount, facilitating proper alignment and a secure fit.
The gray finish of the housing allows for aesthetic matching with typical Mercedes interior color schemes without the need for additional modifications. The mirror is equipped with an automatic dimming function, which improves driving comfort after dark and reduces glare from vehicles behind.
Auto-dimming function and comfort of use
Auto-dimming technology dynamically adjusts the level of light reflection to road conditions. Sensors in the mirror analyze the light intensity from behind the vehicle and reduce glare, which:
- increases the readability of the image in the mirror when driving at night,
- reduces driver eye fatigue on longer journeys,
- increases the overall comfort and safety of driving.
This solution is particularly beneficial in city traffic and on expressways, where frequent changes in light intensity from the rear of the vehicle can be bothersome with a standard mirror without a dimming function.
Appearance, interior integration and assembly
The gray color of the mirror housing was chosen to create a cohesive ensemble with the headliner, pillars, and other Mercedes interior trim elements. This allows the Mercedes W211 / CLS C219 interior rearview mirror not to stand out as a replacement part, but to retain the character of the factory equipment.
The unique design facilitates installation in the location intended by the vehicle manufacturer. A properly installed mirror ensures a stable position, precise viewing angle adjustment, and proper operation of the automatic dimming function, without the need for additional interior modifications.
Used condition - practical benefits
The item is offered in used condition, representing a reasonable compromise between purchase price and maintaining factory-quality workmanship. Choosing an original, used rearview mirror allows you to:
- maintain compliance with the vehicle manufacturer's equipment,
- maintain proper fit to the mounting and interior geometry,
- reduce the cost of repair or replacement compared to a new OEM component.
This solution is particularly attractive for comprehensive interior repairs or restoring a car to near-factory condition after a collision or windshield replacement.
Application in Mercedes models and mirror selection
This mirror was designed for the interior of the W211 generation Mercedes E-Class and C219 generation Mercedes CLS models, which require an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror with a gray housing. When selecting the right mirror, it's worth considering:
- compatibility with a specific body generation,
- type of mounting on the glass,
- presence of the auto-dimming function in the vehicle installation.
If you have any doubts about the fitment to your particular car, it will be helpful to compare the design and color with the currently installed mirror or consult a mechanic specializing in Mercedes.
