Reverse Gear Tilt-Down
The side mirrors on my 2005 TL, are supposed to have reverse gear tilt down. I can not find anything about it in the manual nor on the MID. Can someone explain what this is and how you set/use it?

Yeah, my BMW always lowered the passenger mirror regardless of the setting on the mirror selector. However, I have really liked being able to switch between the two.
I'm sure there is some modification somewhere that would make them both go down. Just have to find the right wires. Good luck with that. lol

Just be glad they finally moved the sunroof switch to where it belongs... with ONE-touch button.
I feel so lost whenever I'm in a 2G TL or last gen Accords and need to work the sunroof.

UGH!! Love the tilt down feature, but really want both mirrors to go down when backing up.. Lots of little kiddies in the neighborhood, and I'd like to not run one over... Could get the backup sensors but would prefer not too..
Anyone with a mod on the double tilt down, PLEASE POST!!

When you put your car in reverse only one of your mirrors will reverse, but first you have to push the switch that you use to adjust your mirrors. If you want the right mirror to turn down, when you are backing up then adjust the switch to the right side, the same goes for the left mirror.
Hope that helps

I think they gave you the option because if you are backing in to a curb on your right you would want to see the curb, but you would want your drivers side mirror to be level so you could check for oncoming traffic.

Your mirror adjustment switch has to be set for either the left or right mirror. Whichever it is set for tilts down when you engage reverse. If the mirror switch is in the middle position neither mirror will tilt down.

tilting mirrors
In order to get the mirrors to tilt in reverse.... you have to select which side u want to move... if it's the Right mirror, slide the switch for the mirror adjustment over to the R and then that mirror will tilt in reverse... the same will work for the Left.
hope this helps =)

I'm starting to wonder if people are even reading the thread before responding. The question has been answered about 4 times in this thread already...
By the way, the feature is very useful.

I for one am glad that it can be turned off. When I'm backing out of my garage I prefer them level. When parking on the street, it depends on which side of the street I'm on since I live on a one-way street. I think the current setup is perfect.

Good point!
Put the mirror adjustment control on the right mirror to have the right mirror tilt down and put it to the left to have the left tilt down.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.

Only one of the side mirrors will tilt down. On the left of the steering wheel theres's a switch to adjust the position of the mirrors. Which ever mirror is active by that switch will tilt that mirror down. Or if it's in the middle position neither mirror will move.
So first select which mirror you want to tilt when you're in reverse. Put the car in reverse and it should tilt.
