I am talking about the right side view mirror that goes down when car is in reverse?

 

Like in the MDX?

That would actually be a cool mod

 

yeah..I love to have that mod.

 

yeah, i miss that from my 2001 acura cl type s

 

How hard would it be to wire it to do that?

 

I would think you have to get some sort of TL or MDX's mirror control module and wire it to it.

 

this would be awesome somone figure this out please.

 

I must plead ignorance here, but can someone tell me the advantage of such a mirror?

 

Reversing next to a curb or parallel parking

 

I think it's a great feature, especially on an SUV, it can save your tires.

I also think memory mirrors linked to the memory seats (on the 06s) are a good feature.

 

There's 2 good things about this feature:

1. helps you park the perfect distance from the curb. It helps ou see how far away your wheels/tires are away from the curb. Perfect for rim scratch prevention.

2. Helps in seeing what is behind you when in reverse. So it can actually help prevent you from running over something beind your car in your blind spot

 

Damn this would be soo nice. I hate it when I have to adjust the mirror down everytime I pull in my driveway I thought I was the only one annoy by this!

 

What about learn how to drive and park?

Btw, you can take the skills with you to different cars.

 

i just dont do it often even though i have the skills to scared of being wrong once and messing up the volks.

 

lol, I could do without this as well. I actualy dislike cars that have this, sort of annoying, as I would rather see what is directly behind me than along side of me.

 

Most cars that use this feature have the ability to turn it off by moving the mirror selector to the neutral position.

I think it would be a nice feature

 

ah, cool, if it's optional, then it's okay I guess.

 

It's a pretty cool feature. The real question is how much ($) is doing this mod worth to you?

 

Anyone know if the '06 will have this? I had no idea the TSX didn't have this feature. I will REALLY miss that coming from my '02 TL-S. I use it all the time.

 

you know you can solve that problem, by just looking.......well, behind you.

 

Dunno about you, but I can't see through that huge-ass pillar.

I know I said "directly", slightly misleading, my bad.

 

The feature is really handy when it comes down to parrell parking really, cause around the city you only get about 4 inches in front and back of you, 6 inches around at best. Having the mirrors rotate down all you to see the curb if no-ones ever seen it before. And by having a good view of the curb, u can judge how close you can get w/o scratching up your rims. Its not hard to get into a spot, its just tricky getting close to the curb (like an inch or 2 off) everytime.

I wish I had that on my sisters civice. Once the curb slanted in and it was a high curb also. I didn't know and you really couldn't tell that there was a slant by the curb it was extremely subtle, but large enough that parking straight isn't parking straight. I proceeded to park like I always did until I heard - SSSZHHZHHZ. Luckily I was going slowly so I was able to stop before It got too bad, but now her rims have a semi-deep scratch across one of the spokes. Could've been prevented if I actually saw the curb slant in/out.

 

sometimes just looking behind can't help!!~ espcially when your reverse parking and want to see the lines...this mod can help to see those lines very well.

 

Yeah, i basically always tilt mine down manually, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if i scuffed my rims

 

I do that too...

But sometimes my mirror has trouble going down, it seems like one of the gears are missing teeth. It kinda just stays in one place for a little while.

 

so yeah.......is there anyway we can get this mod done????
