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 ?

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 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.....

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.

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.
