Bumping this thread...are there are any updates on a SC performing a software config/update to enable the auto-dimming mirrors due to a retrofit?

I installed 2021.24.4 on my M3P last night, checked the release notes this morning and was surprised to see that “Mirror Auto Dim” configurability was listed.Well, the good news is parts fit as expected, connector worked, full opening/closing and mirror controls, etc. The bad news is dimming did not activate when I tested it tonight. I suspect it's the same as when I added the pedestrian speaker, connections are there but the computer is not aware and is not providing the command/signals. Dimming in 3/Y is actually done by the computer, not by light sensors( there's a thread about it around here), etc... sigh...
I saw that too. Both of our MY’s got that auto-dim toggle. But my mirrors don‘t seem to dim. 023xxx and 035xxx VINs.I installed 2021.24.4 on my M3P last night, checked the release notes this morning and was surprised to see that “Mirror Auto Dim” configurability was listed.
Normally features that don’t apply to my car (e.g. battery range recalculations, etc) simply don’t appear in the release notes and I get a truncated version of them.
Sure enough, under Controls > Mirrors I have a toggle for “Mirror Auto Dim” now.
Now, I’m pretty certain I don’t have dimming capable mirrors, as they’ve never dimmed, so I don’t think they’re suddenly going to be switched on, but I am curious if yours might suddenly work now @mac9899 ?
Darn was hoping this new update would do the trick.I saw that too. Both of our MY’s got that auto-dim toggle. But my mirrors don‘t seem to dim. 023xxx and 035xxx VINs.
I assume though that you don't actually have the auto dimming mirrors installed correct? Mac9899 installed the auto dimming mirror, but it didn't work, so the wonder/hope is that with the latest update did it potentially enable the hardware. Or could it also be that Tesla is getting around to offering an auto-dimming mirror retrofit kit....I saw that too. Both of our MY’s got that auto-dim toggle.

I replaced my June 2020 MY mirrors with Suma mirrors. There was one wire for the heater. The wire for auto-dim isn't there.I'm wondering whether anyone besides me has got anywhere with this?
@mac9899 seems to have disappeared off the grid, not seen since June last year.
I realise there was only a short period where Tesla didn't do dimming side mirrors, but would have assumed there would be some people who were keen to retrofit this?
Damn, ok, thanks.I replaced my June 2020 MY mirrors with Suma mirrors. There was one wire for the heater. The wire for auto-dim isn't there.
I just had a thought about this.. you're talking about basically just replacing the mirror piece yourself, aren't you?I replaced my June 2020 MY mirrors with Suma mirrors. There was one wire for the heater. The wire for auto-dim isn't there.
Yes, I was talking about replacing only the glass.I just had a thought about this.. you're talking about basically just replacing the mirror piece yourself, aren't you?
I have an entire wing mirror assembly, which essentially looks like this:

Presumably if I fitted this there might be a chance that the blue connector has wires from the car side of that connector that would do the dimming?
