It only works with the right mirror. Verified with the manual, my dealer and in real life.
I followed these steps.
+ R
+ click on the button to adjust the right mirror
+ make your own adjustments
+ click on the button to adjust the left mirror (but without changing anything) or change to D

that’s all

Read the Owner's guide in the app.

Works on nearside (passenger side) mirror only.

Car must be stationary before starting the procedure to set.

Been on Porsches with Driver Memory or 14/18-way seats for 10+ years.

Depending on model and options you may not have the feature.

Turbo, memory seats, 18 way, stationary etc. all ticked. Maybe I’ll get the dealer to do it for me - I’m fitting rear/back cameras in 2 weeks.

Sounds like a plan then.

Ordinarily a simple task to set (must be in R before tilting the mirror to set the kerb view to your preferred adjustment and the option ticked in PCM to perform automatically when R is selected). I would also store the setting to the key using your preferred memory button.

Storing the setting is the key!!!!!

also, it takes a little while for it to readjust as you drive forward.

It works now!!

and works in my 911 targa too!

thank you a million times!!

Marvellous!

It will stay tilted for around 9 secs If you move forward it will reposition straight away.

What I really do not understand is why has Porsche implemented this function only with the right one… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m pretty sure this is working with my near side / passenger/ left mirror…

will confirm tomorrow for you - in other news I’m just onto the insurance as someone has driven down the right had side of the car scuffing it all… 4 days into owning it.
