Default Rearview mirror auto tint effect

so i know everything turns blue at night when you set it to auto ... ( to dim incoming headlights ) but is there a way to keep it on even when the sun is out ? from what i can tell.. u only get 2 options .. OFF / AUTO .

thanks

if it is very bright, auto dimming should be on as well. however, you can always force it on with some light source. eg: a small led keychain taped to the sensor.

I don't understand why you would do that. It would make it difficult to see behind you, to possibly spot cops.
