Purpose and function of the mirror
The interior rearview mirror for the Audi TT 8J is a rearview mirror and is mounted on the rear of the driver's view, on the windshield. It's responsible for monitoring the situation behind the vehicle, making it easier to change lanes, maneuver, and assess distances from other road users.
The photochromatic technology used automatically darkens the mirror surface in strong backlight conditions, which:
- reduces eye fatigue when driving at night,
- improves the readability of the image in the mirror,
- increases the overall level of safety and driving comfort.
Construction, colors and integration with the interior
The mirror has a black housing, so it blends harmoniously with most Audi TT 8J interior configurations. The neutral, subdued color allows for a consistent look with the dashboard, headliner, and other cabin interior elements.
The design was developed by the vehicle manufacturer, which ensures:
- factory fit for mounting on the windshield,
- proper cooperation with the electrical installation responsible for the photochromatic function.
Used condition - practical benefits
