Intended use and fitment for Mercedes W221
This Mercedes W221 interior rearview mirror was designed as a factory-installed element mounted on the upper part of the windshield. Its design is adapted to the geometry of the S-Class interior, ensuring proper field of view and compatibility with factory mounts.
Its rearward positioning in the driver's field of vision facilitates safe maneuvering, while the optical solutions used minimize image distortion. The mirror is designed for vehicles requiring original equipment standards to be maintained without altering the headliner or mounting bracket.
Auto-dip functionality (automatic dimming)
A key feature of this model is the auto-dip function, which automatically dims the mirror surface. The system responds to the intense light from vehicles behind, reducing glare and improving visibility after dark.
- Automatic dimming – the mirror adjusts the dimming level without driver intervention.
- Better visibility at night – reducing the glare from the headlights of other vehicles.
- Higher driving comfort – less visual fatigue on long journeys.
Thanks to this function, the mirror fits into the premium equipment standard, typical of Mercedes S-Class models.
Appearance, color and interior integration
The mirror has a black finish that complements most Mercedes W221 interior color schemes. The neutral housing allows for aesthetic integration with both light and dark headliners, maintaining a cohesive cockpit feel.
The housing was designed to harmoniously fit into the lines of the front of the cabin. The mirror's shape and proportions are adapted to the width of the windshield and the driver's position, promoting ergonomics and clear viewing.
Condition, origin and advantages of using a used part
This mirror is used, meaning it comes from a vehicle dismantling and retains the manufacturer's factory specifications. This type of part is a good choice when you want:
- maintaining the original equipment standard of the Mercedes W221,
- maintaining compatibility with the vehicle's factory systems,
- reducing repair costs while using OEM parts.
A used interior rear-view mirror allows you to restore the full functionality of your mirror system after the previous element has been damaged or worn, without having to use substitutes with unreliable parameters.
Why choose this rearview mirror for Mercedes W221
