Auto reversing mirror tilt

[MarksVRS]

I have not noticed it on mine (Sept 09 MY10 vRS wagon).

I think it only happened on cars with the electric memory seats, from memory only the Jettas that have that, had it as well. I don't know anyone with an Octy who got that fitted, but to date, also have never heard of anyone having it work on any Oz Spec Octy.

From memory you put the mirror on L, put the car in reverse and set the angle you want, then when you put it in any other gear it should move back. Well that doesn't happen so I guessed it must be only with the electric memory seats....but then realised the Jetta doesn't have that as standard...so does anyone know if it should or shouldn't work.

Just to clarify how it works... (in my jetta with rear sensors no electric seats anyway).
You select "L" position on the switch. Put it in reverse. Mirror will now move down on its own you do not adjust its position yourself. Reverse car out of driveway. Put car into Drive. Take off and get above about 20kmh mirror will now return to roughly where it was before tilting.

Thanks all. That is what I thought, would be good to have as wife would be driving it with baby fairly often.....not sure how long the alloys would last this way

Anyway something OT. Anyone actually manage to fit an OEM / VW / Audi RVC into an Octy Wagon??

Been reading the VW threads on this that uses an integrated Audi trunk handle and camara part and not sure if those options would fit the Skoda.

Had this on my GTI, but it's not on my Octavia. Ran through the VCDS program and found the correct bits to activate, but without the electric seats, it's not working.

The VRS in NZ even has the folding mirrors, so it can be done, but I've given up on doing the change. Way too much to change. Also realised that the wing mirrors of the RS are big enough that I don't need to tilt it to see the kerb, so I'm going to leave it as it is, unless some cheap method pops up
