Rear view mirror
Hi, has any one changed the rear view mirror for one the sits higher up the windscreen?

I have seen those who have gone for the auto dimming or rear camera screen offerings but just wondered if there was a straight swap with another car as I find it obscures my line of sight?

Thanks in advance.

If it sits higher you can't see through the rear window anymore.
I removed the rear view mirror. Much better if you ask me.

Can't see that as a problem, bought one of those suction driving instructor type ones and the angle was not a problem, just looked rubbish hence the question.

The problem is, if you change the rear view mirror for one sitting higher up it will no longer be in line with the sun visors when you need to use them,

I agree, the arm is far too long and mine sits in the centre of the screen . It's like being back in my Series 3 with a split screen effect. 2016 D4 HSE
