For those of you scratching your heads about the sensors.
There are two sensors on the inside rearview mirror - one that faces through the windshield and the one that faces backwards.
The one looking through the windshield asks "is it dark outside?" If the answer is yes, then the second sensor asks "do I see bright lights" (i.e. headlights). If that sensor sees the bright light then it dims.
If something is blocking the front facing sensor (dashcam, parking pass, dealer service tag etc.), then the rear facing sensor is always live and thinks that the ambient light is a headlight.
