Auto dimming Rear mirror - do you ever turn it off?

I love this feature, and can't imagine why I'd turn it off.
I have heard, however, that some people hate auto-dim mirrors. I can't figure out why - I wish we had outside auto-dim mirrors also!

i turn if off every once in a while when it looks like a cop is right behind me, cuz they sometimes prevent u from seeing the sirens reflection while its off. other than that its always on.

The outside rearview mirrors on my 2002 have a blue tinted hue to them whereas the ones on my 2000 did not. I haven't really checked it out, but are these linked to the inside mirror auto-dimming feature?

O.G.
That's funny, mine is always off. I guess I don't need to use it since my tints are pretty dark and it blocks off most of the lights anyways.
BTW, is it all right to leave it on all the time, even if you turn your car off/on all the time??? In other words, will it mess up if you leave it on all the time?

Nope. There's a sensor on the back of the mirror (left of the thing that holds it to the window)...try putting your hand there - it will darken the mirror to almost grey/black. It's always on, so if it's raining or dusk, it has a tendency to darken...but it can't hurt your car.
PS - my Grand Cherokee Limited's outside mirrors darken as well as the interior -- wish my TL had that....damn hicks and their High Beams

Re: Re: Never
I leave my auto-dim off on the rear view mirror because it makes every light you see behind you look like an HID. I don't like that. I like to be able to distinguish between regular headlights and HID's because HID's are usually on a car worth taking a look at.
Just me

Mine is on all the time and I think it is a very nice feature.

I keep it off because I don't like the combination of the lines from the rear defroster, tint and the auto dimmer. Before I got the tint I used the auto dimmer and it worked well.
