Starting in 2000 an accessory Auto Dimming Mirror was available. The mirror could come equipped with an electronic compass or an ambient temperature sensor or Homelink (Homelink allows you to program your garage remote to one of three buttons on the mirror assembly). This bulletin describes the mirror operation and diagnosis. NOTE: Mazda6 may come with factory or accessory installed auto-dimming mirror. If the unit is factory installed, look in the wiring diagram for wiring information, if the unit is port or dealer installed, then the wiring information in this bulletin applies.
