Mirror Dip on Reverse

[JustCruisn]

Can confirm no auto mirror dip on the Jetta without leather electric seats, on the 2006 version. At least you can adjust both mirrors at the same time.

Yep. Had 2 of these cars with different trim levels, (FSI auto/cloth vs TFSI DSG/sunroof/xenon/cloth) but both factory parking (they all have this) and both cloth seats = no auto dip.
MK4 had the same issue, had to be electric auto seats, I was hopeful the MK5 had it standard, was disappointed.

Another feature I have not seen in AUS Jettas is auto parking, this was an option elsewhere I believe.

Hi,

I've just come across some posts talking about having the mirror dip on reverse in the MK5. The ability to activate this option seems to depend on the equipment fitted, and from what I can tell in US spec mk5s you need to have Seat Memory fitted, but apparently for Australian spec cars it will work with Reverse Parking sensors (which I have). Couldn't find any instructions on where to go from there, so I just checked the mirror dip checkbox in the central convenience module on VCDS. There is a message saying the control module is uninitialised, so I clicked Yes to fill the module with default values, and the coding is accepted, however the mirror does not dip (have tried with the switch in the O and L positions). Anyone activated this on their cars?

Cheers,
Michael

My July 2006 built Jetta (delivered in oct 2006) has the mirror dip on the LHD mirror. It works perfectly although occasionally needs to be adjusted but I think this is because the wife forgets to turn the switch back from L to O and adjusts it because it's angled down.

Note mine was delivered with only metallic paint as an option. It's a 1KM diesel with the BKD engine.

I hope this helps.

Very interesting, thanks for replying! So it just has the cloth seats? Mine is an April build, going to have to look into this further I think.

Yes just cloth seats,

No leather seats? This is getting odd...

My MY08 Golf GT has parking sensors, but no mirror dip (that I can make work)

Is the option present in your MFD? See above for how to physically check if it'll work on your car.

This is interesting, i have a 2009 Pacific TDI leather seats and rear parking sensors. I do not have mirror dip.
There is no option in the MFD to enable mirror dip. I would like it.

Am i missing something?

May need to be activated with VCDS. Check your passenger mirror to see if it's physically possible first.
