Well after setting up almost everything ,can't set the Kerbside Mirror View to work in reverse , ,nor can a VW senior
Techo or a few people In between .
Not sure if it's related to extras fitted or what !!!! Tech Request sent to VW unless anyone has had the same
problem ,with DSG/ Rear Camera / Keyless / and the other bits !!! would love to hear if anyone is the same :wink:

I believe it has something to do with the electric mirror adjustment switch? Have you tried setting it so a mirror is selected (i.e. as if you were about to adjust the mirror's position) whilst reversing?
-
It needs to be on L.

On L when reversing , think we covered that ,but I will check again ,thanks .

If you haven't already then try setting it.
Put car into reverse, move L mirror to required position.
Leave mirror setting on L.
It should reset when you drive forwards at a certain speed.
Mine hardly moved when I first got it, like you I thought it wasn't working.

A bit more help if I may -
You also need to go into the infotainment system in settings to tick the box so that the left hand mirror obeys the command

Mine was the same when I got it until I found out you set the mirror where you want it to be when you reverse

Much appreciated Guys ,I will take another run at it tomorrow ,and report back :smiley:
-
When I got my car some joker set mine to point up the way at the sky when I selected reverse :huh:
Initially I thought it was broke but after figuring out how it works, I soon sorted it.
-
No Go Guys , tried loads of different ways ,so it's wait for a VW tech update now :wink: Thanks for the Input :smiley:

Can I just check the logic on this....
1. Car in reverse
2. Left hand mirror switch selected
3. Left hand mirror adjusted to suit...
4. Car in first gear & drive off
5. Mirror re-sets to normal driving position
6. Mirror switch now selected to de-frost
If I now select reverse, mirror doesnt go to the reverse setting....
I have to select left hand mirror....
This is damn annoying...in every other car I have had with this feature, the mirror sets to the reverse position when reverse gear is selected, regardless of where the switch is..! (or have I missed something....! lol) :angry: :angry:

VW have missed something :laugh: despite 2 software tries mine still won't work , so thought
while I am waiting for the next tech Bulletin ,I bought a shaving Mirror (carbon finish ) and cut
a broom handle in two ,wrapped in foil and attached together with carbon affect tape ,works well,
bit draughty though :grin: :grin: :laugh: :laugh:

Yup, the mirror switch NEEDS TO STAY on the L for kerb view to work.

It seems convenient for me.
If you are reverse parking then its ideal for the mirror to be dipped to see the pavement but if you are reversing out a parking space, I much prefer the mirror looking straight behind.
Having the option is the best of both worlds.
