Side mirrors and Reverse
I thought I read somewhere that when you put the car in reverse the side mirrors point lower to help with backing up? Is this something that needs to be turned on? Is it on the Aspec or just the Advance model along with the folding mirrors? Thought I’d ask on here before I go digging around in the settings or owners manual.

Yep, it will only lower the mirror that the side mirror switch is pointed at. If the switch is in the middle, neither mirror will move downward.

I think they want to leave one mirror "normal" so you don't misinterpret what you are seeing? Maybe ?
I'll also add ... with Parking Sensors, (high-res) Backup-Cams, and (especially) Top-Down Surround-Views cams ... I hardly use the mirrors when backing-up any more.
Gotta park close to the curbs (to give the idiots plenty of room), but whatever you do, don't get so close that you scratch the rims.

Same with the Audis.

Anyone notice when backing out of a garage at night that the camera is not properly switched to night vision? I can't see a darn thing until the car is completely out of my garage, then it switches to night mode and I can see.
Seems strange.
Setting somewhere?

I have not noticed as I always back in to the garage when I get home.

In my indoor garage, the back-up lighting is fine

Someone was having a similar issue with their 3G RDX, except it was all the time the night vision wasn't activating. I don't know if he ever got it resolved.

Are you sure the (clear/white) backup lights are working properly?
