Question Passenger side mirror not tilting in reverse...

My car's passenger side mirror used to tilt down when I put the gear in reverse, but now it doesn't do that anymore. I tried to reset the memory by putting the gear in reverse and pressing the M+1 to no avail. It still moves with the side mirror control on the door. Does anyone know if I missed anything?

make sure the little button to select which mirror you want to adjust is NOT in the right position, if so, it will disable this feature

I went to the dealer and had them activate the mirror feature and it worked for about 500 miles and then quit. Haven't had a chance to chase it yet. Please post what you find.

thats part of Porsche standard operating procedure,

it is to get you back into the dealership to:

1. repair it again.
2. see another mod that you want to do and buy more parts!

On my '01 C2, I have found that my mirror tilt quits after a new memory setting. I can 'reactivate' it by putting the car in R and pressing M.
