Auto 'dipping' passenger wing mirror?

I was recently in a friends Audi and his cars passenger mirror automatically dipped when reverse was selected.... is it possible to add this on the early FFRR's or was it an option on later cars? Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White

Mine will do it provided the selector switch for which door mirror you adjust with the adjuster is set to the drivers mirror - if that makes sense ?

If the selector switch is set to the passenger mirror, it stays where it is when reverse is selected..... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Same on 2003 Vogue. Switch set on drivers side and it dips when reverse selected. I don't like it though.

Well I can confirm I've selected drivers side on the mirror button and it doesn't dip at all Whistle Would a nice feature given mine has 22 inch Overfinch wheels..... any ideas on how this could be remedied? Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White

On the bmw's of a certain era, you only had this feature if you had memory seats. As yours is a Vogue, it will have them.....

Only other thought is - you can set the angle it goes to when reversing, and I'm wondering if it's set to where it is otherwise, and so doesn't move.

Can't for the life of me remember how you set it.....

Have you selected reverse with the mirror switch set to passenger and adjusted it down ? Wonder if you set it like that and then it goes back when not in reverse and the switch moved.

It's in the manual, but don't have that to hand at the mo......

Just a thought - you have a memory stored for the seats and mirrors on the 1 2 or 3 buttons ? 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I actually really like it when reverse parking as it allows you to see how close your rear wheel is to the curb as you reverse in, and can save scraping your alloys up while getting you as close to the kerb as possible. This can avoid the car sticking out to far, and being as the RR is wider than the average car many parking spaces in towns/citys are pretty tight on width.

Best of all though you can easily turn it on or off so overall its a great little feature.

I wish it would do a single wipe of the rear wiper if the fronts are on and reverse is engaged, like on the Discovery 2....... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Andy, you need to tell the mirror what position to be in.

Start car
Select reverse
make sure mirror switch is towards you
manually move mirror to desired position
select park
turn off ignition
jobs a good un......................................................me thinks

That's what I was getting at, but couldn't remember the procedure........hope that solves it.

On the rear wiper front, going slightly off topic I know, I've only had my wipers on Auto when selecting reverse, so that's prob why it's not wiped....... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
