im interested in this mod tooo...my dad has it on his 02 tl....It comes in handy......someone find out something for this mod, and let us know...pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

Sorry for not checking into this more yet. I have been very busy with other things and am getting close to finishing my almost 1000SF basement. The basement takes precedence and a long time since I am doing all of the work myself.

The mirrors will probably be a fall/winter project for me. If someone wants to check on the part numbers in the 5 or 6 posts up, that would be helpful since that's the hold up right now.

 

For an alternative solution (still in development) check out: https://g35driver.com/forums/audio-video-electronics/89893-can-your-car-do-official-teaser.html

If this product is completed it will provide a much cheaper and easier solution to the lack of auto mirror tilting.

 

Man, I have been wondering why my car did not come with this ever since day one.

My buddy with a 3 Series Beamer always says, "Damn, I thought your car was supposedly my car's competitor."

Then I rip on him in the canyons.

 

This is a great post. Has anyone followed up on this? Very interested in a mod like this.

 

Sad that my 05 Coupe doesn't come with this feature or the memory seat feature for both sides...especially having to deal wtih a baby car seat in the back.

Hopefully you guys get this all sorted out. Thanks for the efforts.

 

Hey, I too share the same issues regarding the lack of tilting. the most annoying thing is that I always back my car into a spot for the night, hence the mirrors are tilted downwards. The next morning, I get in and go, and half-way down the road when i wanna change lanes, the mirrors are down and I cant even assess my blind spot. I HATE when that happens, which is why I would want this feature the most. My roommates 3 series tilts but he never backs his car into spots...what a waste!

I just thought of this workaround last night (dunno if it was already mentioned in the thread):

I dont know what the option packages are on the other models (autos), but if you have memory seats and no mirror tilt, just use memory position 1 as your main preference. Then, set the mirrors downwards, but keep your seat the same. Then program this as 2. Whenever you want to back in, hit 2 and the mirrors will go down. Hit 1 when you're done and want the mirrors back up again.

 

I did not think that mirrors move with the seat settings. I thought it was only the steering wheel and the seats... I will check that out later when I get in the car.

 

This is a random question but my passenger mirror's bracket has a big crack on it. I don't want to talk about it much. But I was wondering if there was anyplace I could go to buy the bracket (black part) of the mirror only?

The mirror itself works perfectly fine, and the housing has no damage. It's just the bracket. That's why I don't want to buy a whole new mirror because the bracket part is just plastic and shouldn't be too pricey. The dealership only sells the entire mirror itself and I believe it was around 350 so I was looking for a cheaper source.

 

Sorry but the mirrors on the '04 do not move with the seat memory, unfortunately.

 

Did anything ever come of this? This would be an awesome mod. I only care about the tilt for parking. the fold in when parked is cool too but I think the tilt would be the mose usefull.

 

I definitely want the tilt down...right now whenever I parallel, I always manually tilt my mirror down...sooo annoying.

I would really like to have power folding side view mirrors too.

KPTECHNOLGIES...do something guys!!!
(also hook up the side view mirrors to the memery system)

 

Yea I really would like to see this mod. I too curbed my rim (got it fixed tho) and now I always tilt my mirror down manually before parallel parking.

 

Dudes, I went to the parts department yesterday, but they could not help me so I am going to check with the service department.

Can someone please send me the service/repair and parts manuals for the 2003~2004, 2005 , and 2006 models so I can check the parts for everyone?

 

^^sorry am i missing something? is that random or what?

or maybe i just havent been following this thread long enough..
