Gentex auto-dimming mirrors featured on '05 Nissan Pathfinder/Frontier

Automotive Industries, March, 2005

Gentex Corporation has begun shipping interior automatic-dimming mirrors for the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder SUV and Frontier Crew Cab truck. Both vehicles are sold in North America. Gentex auto-dimming is made to automatically darken to reduce glare from the headlamps of vehicles approaching from the rear.

The Gentex auto-dimming mirror is standard equipment on the Pathfinder SE Off-road and LE trim levels, as well as the Frontier Crew Cab LE. In addition to providing glare control, the mirror displays the vehicle's compass heading and the external temperature. It also includes a fully integrated Johnson Controls HomeLink Wireless Control System--three buttons located on the chin of the mirror that can be programmed to operate garage doors, estate gates, security systems, home lighting and other radio-frequency-controlled devices. The same mirror is available on other trim levels as part of premium option packages.
