Has anyone had this issue? I am thinking it could be the autodimming feature messing up. Did all C5 RS6s come with heated mirrors as well?
thanks

Heated mirrors standard. Turn on with rear defrost button? No yellow here, guessing it was replaced with wrong glass?

Yes, all in N. America at least came with heated mirrors and Anti-dazzle feature. If you are talking about a spot starting to delaminate internally and turn yellow then yes, that does occasionally happen to heated mirrors.

The whole mirror seems to be uniformly yellow .....almost like a yellow tint, more yellowish vs actual yellow.

Same problem here. Noticed it after my car was at the mechanic for months. At first I thought maybe I just hadn't driven it in a while. But it's pretty noticeable

My drivers side is yellow tint also, I thought mine was like this b/c it's a canadian model. It does not bother me that much

Maybe it is a "feature" for us in the Northeast :). The mirror is not blurry so I can live with it I guess.

Sure, blame it on Canadiens. First Poutine, now yellow mirrors...

Maybe this is normal? I asked the same question a while ago: http://www.rs6.com/showthread.php/25668-side-mirror-glass-different

The car I purchased just over a year ago has gold mirrors too. Drives me nuts and then some as around the edges the image "ghosts" and makes anything viewed in the mirror look like it's shadowing. The other two cars I have here are clear... That said, neither of those two cars defrost the ice off them in winter....

Mine both defrost, both blueish clear. Was a year or so ago though. More recently had the Dodge truck freeze over, confirmed in manual that heated mirrors come on with rear defrost button.

The defrost function seems to work...I had a chance to test it out in the ice box called NY this morning :) So I am assuming no fixes?

I have the Euro mirrors Aspherical mirrors on my car but the originals in the box, I'll pull them out and take a look at them tonight.
