Mirror tilt on reverse not working
« on: 26 August 2017, 07:44 »
Morning. Has anyone had any luck setting up their passenger side mirror to dip when reversing? The function is enabled, but when trying to follow the set-up instructions detailed in the user guide the option to configure the amount of dip for each user profile is missing. Any help appreciated!

You should be able to adjust it if it's the same as the MK7 to tilt fully down to see the kerb. Turn on ignition, put the mirror adjuster into L, put car in reverse and then adjust mirror knob to tilt mirror and then that it.

It is programmed to whatever ignition key you used to set it so if you swap keys a lot then you will need to set it up on both.

Oh and you may need to turn it on in the settings on the info unit.

Sounds like gti-travels is having more technical issues with it though but above is how to set it.

Also, for it to work I think you have to leave the little wing mirror dial on L.

I had this problem at first I always had mine set to 0.

Leaving it on L doesn't help with my OCD mind!  :angry:

Exactly this and especially the second point!

I don't like the volume wheel not being centred but I don't have OCD.

I had a friend that took hours just to leave his house, he had OCD. He once said to me that people saying they have OCD when don't is no different than some with a headache saying they have a brain tumour when all they have is a headache.

You'll notice I said had, he couldn't handle his OCD.

Sorry for the rant but it is one of the few things that really winds me up.

Well so it does, I might break the man code and read the manual to see what other goodies I'm missing out on.
