Not aware of that ever being a standard, certainly not on UK cars  :-\

I've seen these buttons on the rear view mirror of US cars. As you suggest, they're probably for a garage door opener ...... Americans don't walk if they don't have to.  ::) ::)  :y

Thanks, I've thought this garage door opener thing....but it' possible there will be a problem with the frequency...US - Europe. We've bought a Facelift from Germany, and this kind of mirror is installed with moemory seats - perhaps there are 2 frequencie types are available.
At this moment I have normal auto dim mirror (good for memory function).

So, it would be a nice upgrade...although I haven't got garage yet..:)))
