The autodim/rain sensor mirror Greg Perkins has in his gti, and I think 1 or 2 others do to

Ive not seen the small heating logo on the mirror adjust before.Auto dimming mirror was an optional extra,however the one in the picture does look like it may have been retro fitted as the conduit dosen't meet the headlining properly although this could have just been refitted slightly wrong etc.Check on the windscreen where the mirror mounts if inside the mount on the outside there looks like a small bubble you also may have auto wipers.
