Tilt mirrors down when reversing

[mikeright]

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.

Yes I also got it working after a bit of tinkering!

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

I could not agree more…. same in my 911…. Beggars belief….

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.

Or left one if a right hand drive car

I too could not get the mirror to rotate down. In normal driving/mirror mode, I have set my mirrors wide, or outward. I also had not stored an R down-looking position. When the mirror is set wide, from this position, it will rotate down very little when selecting R.

Fix it this way. While in R with the right mirror selected, I manually (with buttons) moved the mirror inward and then down. Moving the mirror inward allows it to rotate down much farther. I had to play with it, testing how far I had to move it inward to get the most down deflection. Then, I had to save this “down-looking” position to my personal settings to store it (using buttons on driver door). It didn’t work originally because I had never saved this optimal setting and because of the deflection limit at wide setting.

Now it moves in and down to optimal position when I select R.

So: R, then move mirror in and then down, then save to personal settings.

Each of us has different preferences how far out the right mirror is in normal mode. If you have your mirror set inward normally, I am guessing the feature works fine and you wondered why others had problems. This feature looked broken for some (with mirror set wide) and not for others. I think.

Hope this works for you.

Seems extreme / unnece.- did younsee my guidance above?

I did see your guidance. It did not help me. You posted to move the mirror down and save the setting. On my vehicle, with the mirror moved fully outward, as I have it set for driving, I wasn’t able to tilt it down at all (go ahead, try it). I then realized it would tilt down if I first moved it inward. I then saved the setting and it works fine. I’m not sure what is extreme about that, and it certainly was necessary to get it operational.

i might have been too detailed in the description, but I was just trying to be clear.
