Wing Mirrors

[Hunter]

How can i stop my wing mirrors automatically dipping when i put my car into reverse? Its a 3.0 SE......

 

[Bing]

Dipping - you mean rotating in order to show you the kerb ? I didn't even know this was possible :? Perhaps some sort of programming needs changed through the key ?

Yeah, so i can see the kerb/road

Think this is an option? Sorry I cant help stop it..

Slide the mirror adjuster switch to the passenger side then it won't dip

I think if you select the switch on drivers door to the passenger side mirror it will stop doing it ! Think its a handy that it does it auto ! Wish the wife would use it to save the wheels ! Lol

 

[Psy]

Ahh! Didn't realise we could have this on the Z4, I do want it!

Will see if I can get it coded somehow as loved it on my e46.

Si

 

[flimper]

I want this too !

 

[Bing]

Yup, me too

Is this linked to electric folding mirrors, IIRC that's what's been discussed before.

I dont think it is - As its never happened in my coupe with elec folding mirrors

 

[srhutch]

No was thinking it's only possible for those with elec folding mirrors for some reason or other.

Not linked to folding mirrors ( I don't have them)
Not listed as a programmable feature for my year and model, car or key.

... But it works as I described above, so perhaps it's based upon year and model given some don't appear to have it.

Interesting, I was asking about this recently. I'm due a service so will ask when it goes in...

Do you have folding mirrors on your Roadster, Stuart?

 

[Stuart Truman]

No, but neither does cj10jeeper. Was thinking about it as a retrofit. I tilt the passenger mirror down when parking, and always forget to put it up again until I'm someway up the road.

[markeg]

ah, OK. I believe Glyn has it fitted to his Roadster so looks like it might have been an option on 2006 models? i would also be interested in this as a retrofit...

 

[jan_tekin]

I believe it only works with cars that have automatic boxes

 

[aquazi]

I would love to have this feature (even my Golf i had 10 years earlier had it)... but i dont, and it wasnt available on my car.

Maybe it is only with electric mirrors and the auto box :?

 

[Bing]

Mine's an auto, but I've never noticed this - I will be going for a play straight after breakfast !
