Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. My mirror only moved slightly down and in when in reverse and I didn't know that I could adjust the reverse tilt settings this way. Set much better now.

Default Worked..

1) Under Vehicle Menu, Settings, Lights & Visibility, Reverse Options, Lower Mirror: Confirm that "Mirror is lowered" is selected
2) Put the car in reverse, and while you have the car in reverse, lower the right mirror to the position you want memorized (this is adjustable, it remembers where you've left it up/down/left/right).
3) Leave the right mirror selected.
4) Hit the Set and Number you want to associate this saved setting with, or Set and 3 if you want it to be associated with that particular key.

Now starting with the car not in reverse, when you put the car in reverse, the mirror should return to the position you left it in when reverse was last engaged.

Note that if you don't lower the mirror into the position you want memorized while the car is in reverse, it ends up memorizing the normal position. I think when I last changed the memorized reverse position to be a little higher, I hit the "Set" memory buttons while the car was still in reverse with the mirror in position, so I'm 100% sure it should work that way at least.
I was having this same issue and the instructions above fixed it for me. Yes, you so need to dive off and the mirror will go back to the original position.

Default Worked !

I just bought my first 911.1 and had so many things that don’t work, after all I could fix them all through by learning from this thread. Thank you !
Note: I figured out once you put from R to D, even before reaching 20mph, it takes 20 second to go back in normal position. I don’t think we can change that time setting though.

I tried placing the mirror switch to the right mirror and it didn't lower so I figured mine isn't equipped with this feature. I'm not near my car to check, is this a standard option on my 18 GTS?

These cars are so funny. There are so many things to "learn".

You need to set it up. Look at posts up here.
It has to be default option Especially it’s 18 GTS.
1.Start engine
2. Put gear in Rear
3. Click right mirror button
4. Now manually lower your mirror until you got the right angle
5. Click SET button on your left door, the memory buttons, then click any number you like
6. Put the gear back to D or P. In P, it will go back to original position right away, in D, it takes 20 secs, or it goes back once you hit 20mph.

cheers

I can do everything except for # 5 as I don't have the memory package hence my question about this being a standard feature.

eysa, check you have the option in the menus, as earlier mentioned in post #10. If the option is there I would expect it will remember one position you set it to and you just don't have the option to save for two different people and keys

@storm,

in refer to post #10, shall we have only the memory package to activate this feature ?
with my launch x431 I enabled this feature and now it is accessible from the pcm, i5 is not working. Any idea how to let it work ?

cheers,

Am I the only one that got the shakies and thought about the failed sensor inside the gearbox after reading the title of the thread?

This forum kicks so much ***. I’m a brand new, first time owner (2019 991.2 CS) and I’ve learned so flipping much here. That is all.
