Default Electrochromic (Auto-Dimming) Outside Mirror on 2015?
When I was using the building tool on the website, it stated that this feature is included in the blind spot monitoring system. However, I am 100% sure my car doesn't have this feature even with blind spot monitoring equipped. Is anyone getting auto-dimming outside mirror on their IS?

I noticed the same feature mentioned in my 2014MY, but I haven't seen that much difference at night compared to rearview mirror. I think it does dim a bit but Lexus did it such a way that you can see other cars at night for safety.

My impression of it on the IS is that the dimming is very minimal/subtle. On my RX it's very obvious.
