Can this feature be activated on my 2015 A3 prem plus Cab? If so how? Have tried the usual procedures & manuals.

 

Try the following it should work.

Put the car in reverse. Adjust the right mirror down to the extent you want it to be when in reverse. After setting, turn mirror selector back to lock. It should remember your setting each time you are in reverse, but revert to the normal setting when you return to drive.

 

Thx. Have tried this setup as it is the same as I had on my MB's. NO luck. Must be another of those options that are turned off. Also working on Voice Command thru my dealer.

 

You are not going to believe that I had to do to get the drop down mirror in reverse to work on my A3.

Set it up as you would expect:

• Put car in reverse and adjust he mirror as low as you want it when in reverse.
• Do not move the remote setting from the right mirror (do not put it in lock or other settings)

On my car if the remote mirror setting sector is set for the right mirror, the drop down drops when the car is in reverse and returns to normal position when the car is in drive. However it will not work if the selector is in lock position, or any of the other settings.

If there is anywhere on personalized settings to change that so it will operate all the time regardless of what is selected, I have not been able to find it. I am wondering if this is normal for all the A3s, or just the Cabs. It certainly does not make any sense in a car that is otherwise well thought out.

 

Pls clarify "selector in lock position" Mirror selector?

 

Yes I was trying to describe the selector on the driver's door. That is what has to stay pointed to the right hand mirror (just to the right of lock) to get it to work.

 

ok will try it. thx
