[Shotimes] Electrified Rearview Mirrors - What For?

[Donald Mallinson]

Alan,

Inside mirrors now have automatic dimming and many, 
especially GM, have a compass built in.

Once you have a car with auto dimming, you won't want to go 
back to the old flip switch type.  NEver need to re-set your 
mirror because it moved, you can see MORE out the back than 
ever before.  The compass is just a nice featuer.  GM cars 
with OnStar also have several buttons for that feature, most 
important an emergeny call feature to get help.

These almost never break, and can be had pretty cheap from 
junkyards and with the exception of the OnStar models, just 
need a power wire.

GREAT feature, the SHO should have had it for such a high 
dollar car.
