Is there some trick to getting the passenger side mirror to tilt in reverse?

Additional mirror info
Once you have done the position the seat, engage reverse, and store, you should have the auto mirror-tilt. I think it dips a set amount without any user input. If you want to cancel just reset seat memory with the car out of reverse.
One other feature if you have the auto mirror tilt feature engaged is a cancel feature for those occasions when it is not wanted. Just tap the electric mirror 4-way aiming switch "up" and the passenger side mirror will go back to your selected position. I don't think the mirror-select portion of the switch has to be for left side, just tap "up".

As long as we're on the subject of memory seats...
My memory function works fine for both buttons but I am unable to get the remotes (keys) to accept the programming. This is particularly annoying since the original owner appears to have been a midget yoga instructor. Every time I unlock the door with the key the seat reverts to this funky position and I have to stand next to the car holding button 1 until I can fit between the wheel and the seat. I have followed the instructions in the manual to the letter w/o success.
My car is an '03 but I don't think I have the original manual. Is there something specific to that MY that I may be missing?

I had to go to the dealer for them to turn this function on for my mirrors - also the 5mph door lock feature. My seats won't keep the seat position in memory and sometimes the mirror tilt doesn't work.

I at first thought it was a myth but when I had my car in the shop to replace a broken shift cable the tech found that the reverse switch was bad. Now after over two years of owning the car the passenger side mirror tilts. I never saw anything in the manual about this feature.

One more thing
On the "cancel" function for the mirror dip: it doesn't work until the mirror has fully dipped. So if you don't want or need the dip in reverse, wait until the mirror has fully dipped then tap "up" on the 4-way aiming switch.
