ZEELAND, Mich., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gentex Corporation,
the leading supplier of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors to the worldwide
automotive industry, announced today that it has begun shipping a three-
mirror, automatic-dimming mirror system for the 2007 Audi TT Coupe.
The Gentex auto-dimming mirror system causes all three rearview mirrors
to darken automatically in response to the headlamp glare of
rearward-approaching vehicles. The brighter the glare, the darker the
mirrors become, making nighttime driving safer.
The three-mirror system is optional on the TT and consists of an
interior auto-dimming mirror with compass display and driver- and
passenger-side exterior auto-dimming mirrors.
"Nearly 70 different vehicle models worldwide offer three-mirror auto-
dimming systems, which provide complete glare elimination," said Enoch Jen,
Gentex Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "These systems
represent one of the fastest-growing safety technologies available today.
We're proud to help Audi bring this technology to the TT, a vehicle known
for performance driving when protecting driver vision is highly important."
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

headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps. Many of the mirrors are

Company's revenues are derived from the sales of auto-dimming mirrors to
nearly every major automaker in the world.
