Mind taking a picture to show us what it looks like? ThanksI just got the extended view mirror installed today (it was a free IOU from the dealer). It's a huge disappointment I'd of really been PO'd if I had paid the $89.00 the dealer wanted for it. :frown:
The extended view on the Pilot mirror is a lot larger than the one on the Ridgeline. The extended view side of the mirror is only a little over 1" wide. On the Pilot it's at least 2 or 3 times larger.Guess it's in the eye of the beholder. I felt that the extended mirror had no extra value when I first got my 2016 Pilot that had the extended mirror on it. It was helpful in keeping an eye on vehicles in the third lane when merging into traffic. But, I miss it on the 2017 Ridgeline so think I may install one when I can determine how difficult they are to remove the old and install the new.
thanks for your input, have been pondering this mod.I just got the extended view mirror installed today (it was a free IOU from the dealer). It's a huge disappointment I'd of really been PO'd if I had paid the $89.00 the dealer wanted for it. :frown:
CS(?) I was wondering what it looked like also.Ok, so it's the same mirror with a "convex mirror" on the end but within the same housing.
Got it, Thanks
If you can see that much of your vehicle in the sideview mirrors, then you're going to have problems anyway.I had a loaner CRV with it... like OP said it is a waste!...
found a pic online.

Interesting observations and opinions. I had one on the '16 CR-V and found it rather useful. It complimented the Lane Watch camera nicely to give an extended view of both sides of the vehicle. I miss not having both features on the Ridgeline, though I have grown quite fond of the blind spot information system and find it very useful.I had a Civic rental a few weeks back that had that style mirror and it really messed with my eyes, for whatever reason. I found myself trying to avoid looking at that part of the mirror. Maybe it was just the vertical line, but it was bordering on uncomfortable. Has it bothered anyone else?
My wife's 2016 Civic has it and I really like it, but she does not. Says it is weird and distracting. I guess it just depends on the person.I had a Civic rental a few weeks back that had that style mirror and it really messed with my eyes, for whatever reason.
