Default Is this an auto dimming/tilting mirror?

I got this mirror for my car but I'm not sure if this is the auto dimming, tilting one? Can't find the correct part number. The number on the back doesn't correspond to any part.

My car has the luxury package, which has auto dimming, but is there a way to tell if its working? Thanks

It does look auto dimming (I see the electrical connection). I believe the tilting function is just part of the housing/programming.

^ Thanks. But I was told that the 2 electrical connections are for heat? Anyone know how to test the auto dim function?

no, thats just a standerd glass the power u see is just for adjusting the mirror, since you have the lux package you got heated mirrors and those right there are not heated mirrors there are some selling on eBay real cheap

Ok thanks. I got it from another member that got it from another member, that said it was from a luxury package. I just needed the housing. I'll take your word for it but I'll take off my own mirror and compare.
