I don't know if this is an aftermarket add-on kind of system.

There's a camera of sorts pointing forward betwixt the rearview mirror and the windshield. How to mount and assure proper "aim?"

Probably would require an entirely different wiring harness run up to/from who knows where. Power for cam and the image signal.

There has to be processing software (and computer) to analyze the camera image and determine the system response.

There would be a change of software to the EVIC display in order to enable/disable the feature.

Thanks, Seems That I Have Seen Something On This As A Mod Add On Before, But Cannot Find It.

Just ordered the part,for the 300C, which includes: Rear View Mirror, with UConnect. Next, will be to have the scan tool turn it on. Total Cost $340.00. If you are adding UConnect with the rearview mirror as I did, you can also get the SmartBeam at the same time.

Please let us know how that goes. I'm not calling you a liar, but this is the first anybody's made that assumption. A few have added the uconnect mirror w/ autodim, and unless you have a new part number, it doesn't do the high beam thing.

Ordered it from Moparsuperstore. Should be here by the end of this week or early next. The part is for a 300C. The Jeep part plugs do not fit. The plug must fit, otherwise the system will not function according to Mopar. They were kind enough to get the 300C Part Number for this unit. Will post it when it arrives !!!!

On the rearview mirror, should be a camera. To activate, a dealer scan is required to turn it on.

Autodim has one sensor on the front side (windshield side) and one of the back side (mirror side). It compares the light levels between the two and adjusts the tint of the mirror accordingly. The high beam system is totally separate as I understand it.

Yes, it's yet another module that goes on the windshield separate from the Uconnect/Autodimming mirror and the rain sensor.

ok so i was looking at my rear view thru the windsheild and i see a little indent in the back side of the mirror so im guessing thats that auto dim, but i also see a little rectangular box that has a dark reddish tint to it is that the smart high beam sensor

The rectangle with the redish tint is the auto-wiper sensor (if you have a 300C). It comes with the windshield as an integrated part.
