S4/RS4 Aspherical Mirrors - Any users?

[nealRlett]

Seems like a good idea but from my understanding once installed, the mirrors will still retain the defrost option but loose the auto-dimming feature? Can anyone back this up? Are these useful at all?

thanks -

they are very useful as long as you set them up correctly. i can make lane changes in an instant without turning my head which makes a big difference in daily driving imo

btw, these aspherical mirrors also come in auto-dim.

do you have a link to auto-dim/heated?

[nealRlett]

auto dimming a.k.a "anti-dazzle" option for these is like 700$ right?
that's a lot just to keep your head in one place. IMO

yeah thats a pass... i did this mod for my m5 and it cost like 700 total, never again. better mods for that price.

I think at $165 for both they are a great idea. You'll give up your auto dimming (still retain heating), but I think the added safety of reducing your blind-spot far outweighs the loss. I'm ordering right now.

i adjust my mirrors in this way. If i cant see another car in my mirrors, then it's right beside me. I suppose the convex part of the these mirrors could help with that last piece of the landscape

We can source the mirrors in auto-dimming if you'd like. Most people however simply stick with the heated option due to the cost differences.

We have the glass in stock as well, check out our site.

Made and sold from Hong Kong vs. Germany (Volkswagen)...take your chances.

I don't think I can live without the aspherical mirrors.

edit: oops didn't see this thread is in the S4/RS4 forum.

Although I have to say, I used too much force when pulling the OEM mirrors out, I actually cracked one of them... so beware.

[nealRlett]

better hope you remember to tuck in those mirrors!

How did you remove them? What holds them in? Would heating help?
