Just a quick (perhaps dumb) question ... is the auto tilt down passenger side mirror avail on the 6MT? Trying to find out if the TSX will have this and whether or not it will only be on the 5AT version. I had this on my 5AT CLS and loved it!

Also - it seems that the way to tell auto-tilt or no auto-tilt is if the mirror control has a picture of mirror with down arrow or just a dot, respectively? This sound right? Anyone have pics of this?

 

yes

 

So I guess it has a mechanism to detect it is in reverse just the same as 5AT - good deal

 

Yeah, when you put it in reverse...

 

did you guys know on the bimmer's that both mirror's tilt down, not just the passenger's. i kinda like that.

 

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA????????


Mine has NEVER gone down when putting into reverse!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!

 

do you mean on the CL? or bimmer? my freinds bimmer has done it.

 

CLS

 

maybe your power mirror switch isnt in the middle position ZAPATA. try that and your mirror should go down in reverse.

 

No that's not it

 

there's one other possibility as to why you may not notice it working. when I pull into the garage after driving it, I always leave mine in reverse. the mirror starts to tilt, but when I turn off the ignition, it returns to it's preset position. the next time I start the car the mirror won't tilt unless I shift out of reverse and then back into it. otherwise, the button not in the middle position is the only other reason that it shouldn't work as designed.

 

WTF zapata? mine works! get your shit checked out.

 

yea going to PAA soon so i'll mention it to them.

 

does the owner's manual say how to reset the tilting mirror feature? my Passat would forget the tilt setting from time to time. to get it to "remember", i had to reprogram the seat memory function and make sure the car was in reverse as i did. this would reset it. maybe there's a similar procedure?

 

veedubdude,
Hmmmm possible. Once i dig out of the snow i'll take a look at it

 

How do you think it knows when to put on the reverse lights? :P

 

the answer is in the bible....... it's called "Helm's Manual"

 

sorry to hear that. i'm sure the dealer will take care of you.
