Title: Electronic Wing mirrors
Post by: cross on February 20, 2012, 11:48:18 pm: Hello All
I'm a new owner of a 2007 gti 5drs. I noticed when i first got my car when i shift the gears to reverse the left wing mirror would point downwards and assisting with the reversing but suddenly this has stopped working. I was wondering perhaps i changed the settings unknowingly. Is there anyone that can assist with this, it may be i am doing something wrong.
Thanks

So you've 'teached' the memory.

Then you should never set the left mirror when reverse gear in. Guess that's what you did.

ps:
never read the f*cking manual :laugh:
