ZEELAND, Mich., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentex Corporation, the
leading supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to the worldwide
automotive industry, is shipping exterior auto-dimming mirrors for
Volkswagen's 2006 Touareg sport utility vehicle.
Gentex auto-dimming mirrors automatically darken to reduce glare from the
headlamps of vehicles approaching from the rear. The brighter the glare, the
darker the mirrors become, making nighttime driving safer.
The 2006 Touareg is available with the three-mirror auto-dimming system in
a variety of option packages worldwide.
"We've been shipping interior mirrors for the Touareg since the vehicle
debuted in the 2003 model year. The addition of two exterior auto-dimming
mirrors to the SUV, available to the world market, emphasizes the growing
demand for these safety features and Volkswagen's commitment to its
customers," stated Executive Vice President Garth Deur.
Founded in 1974, Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) is an international
company that provides high-quality products to the worldwide automotive
industry and North American fire protection market. Based in Zeeland,
Michigan, the Company develops, manufactures and markets interior and exterior
automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that utilize proprietary

glare from trailing vehicle headlamps. Many of the mirrors are sold with

revenues are derived from the sales of auto-dimming mirrors to nearly every
