Hmmm this is a mystery then, I've no idea what build date was for my car so dont know if Itll have this function or not.. (Used to be standard on the FR)


It was a standard feature on the first batch of FRs built at the beginning of the year but the feature got dropped around May time I believe, not sure of exact Build Week. It's only just been reinstated from build week 49.

Edit: I mean the kerb tilt function when you put the car in reverse got dropped and is being reinstated. Fraczish, like Andy said you will still have electric folding mirrors. For example when you press and hold the lock button on your remote for a couple of secs your car will lock itself and mirrors will fold automatically. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused :)

Emailed my dealer, he confirmed my car was built week 45, he went out and tried the drop down mirror but it does not drop. Sounds like week 49 is right... Dam it!
Roll on wedsnesday!!! :)

I take it he does know there's a box needs ticking in the dash puter menu then it needs setting up?

...you say this option needs setting up after enabling? How do you mean fella?

Just had a look at the manual, page 124, it would appear its a simplified version to mine, no adjustment or activation required looks like it either works or it doesn't, if fitted as long as the mirror control knob is sitting at 'R' it'll auto tilt on reverse select.

Tilt function for front passenger exterior mirror*
The mirror can automatically tilt slightly to provide a better view of the kerb
when parking backwards. The control must be in the position R for this feature
to be operational.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as you drive forwards at
over 15 km/h (10 mph) or switch off the ignition. It also returns to its original
position if the position of the control is adjusted

Sorry for the bum steer there, same switch gear same VAG stable you'd expect them to be similar as a minimum, the newer to be if anything more advanced not more basic, you live and learn :rolleyes:

Naw Naw Naw, if I'm paying for it so is everybody else :p

Tbh I wasn't really fussed on it but I was on the mirror fold, you got both with the option.
