Hi 👋🏼 All
I'm creating this thread as my mirror dip function has just stopped working. It worked perfectly fine until either one of the two, I used the spare key or I adjusted the mirror position. I'm not sure which, but it seems like one of the above actions has upset it somehow? I have went through the process of trying to reset it. I.e. unlock the car with the correct key, put into reverse, adjust mirror, bla bla bla but it still won't work. Have also used obd 11 to enable it but still no joy 😢 any help would be grately appreciated.

Isn’t there a setting in the mib? Also you do have the swich on the passenger mirror right

Yes, the setting in the infotainment is checked on and the mirror switch is on the correct side.

badgerveedub : yes, mirror dip does depend on the the key that was originally used to set-up the function - so if you use a different key. it won't work the same
From the manual:
- Select a valid vehicle key for saving the settings.
- Unlock the vehicle using this key.
- Switch on the electronic parking brake.
- Switch on the ignition.
- Put the gearbox into neutral.
- Activate the reverse gear exterior mirror lowering function using the CAR button and the and Mirrors and wipers function buttons in the infotainment system .
- Select reverse gear.
- Adjust the exterior mirror on the front passenger side so that you have a good view of the kerb area.
- The settings for the mirror position will be saved automatically and assigned to the vehicle key that is used to unlock the vehicle.

Thanks dv52, have followed this to the letter and it still won't work. Have tried both keys 😞

Will taking the battery out of the key help? Or maybe a factory reset on the infotainment?

Of course it could just be broken, all the coding in the world won’t fix broken?

Nothing quite like stating the obvious🙄 there's always one.

Not changed any coding. I done an output test on it and it responded to the test. Done a factory reset on the mib and still no joy. 😕

Still had no joy with getting this mirror to dip and am just wondering if anyone knows how to re code the mirror and can talk me through it? I have an obd 11 but just don't know how to re code the mirror.

hmm........ try this: - Go to the Passenger door module
- Select Live Data
- Enter "memory" into the search box and tick Mirror memory
The next screen should contain the elements in the last two pictures below (these screenshots were taken using the now obsolete OBD11 software, but the current SW version has the same entries):
If your car has a memory module fitted (needed for mirror dip), you should see the entries on the RHS.
Move the passenger-side mirror position using the knob on the driver door - do the X/Y coordinates change?

Yes they do 😉

Post by dv52 (Australia) on Apr 28, 2022 21:12:44 GMT
hmm......... that is a good start. Next we need to confirm that the passenger-side mirror is programmed to use mirror dip. The software switches for this function are on Byte 4 - Bit 1, Bit 2, Bit 3. Are these 3 x Bits set on your passenger mirror module? If you don't know how to read these values, post-up the long-code string for the module

When you say set, do you mean are they ticked? If so then yes the 3 of them are ticked.

I'm trying to post a screenshot of the module but I'm not sure how to do it 😕 sorry about my stupidity.

the easiest way to add a screenshot - simply select "add attachment" on the top of the "reply" screen

hmm......... yes, the mirror-dip software switches are correct!!
I'm running out of options - is the channel Access control 2-Spiegelabsenkung bei Rueckwaertsfahrt in the hex09 module set to active? Some mk7s have an entry in MENU that can switch ON/OFF the mirror dip function- does your car have this?

I've set mine and it works but I would like to change the mirror position when I shift in reverse so that it rotates even more down.
Can you help me with that?
Thank you

pedjasmek : You need to store the passenger side mirror position (when dipped) into the module - like this:
Storing front passenger exterior mirror settings for reversing - The stored setting depends on which key is used - Select a valid vehicle key for saving the settings
- Unlock the vehicle using this key.
- Switch on the electronic parking brake.
- Switch on the ignition.
- Put the gearbox into neutral.
- Activate the reverse gear exterior mirror lowering function using the CAR button and
 (bottom of screen) and the Mirrors and wipers function buttons in the infotainment system
- Select reverse gear.
- Adjust the exterior mirror on the front passenger side so that you have a good view of the kerb area.
- Reverse out-of all screens
- The settings for the mirror position will be saved automatically and assigned to the vehicle key that is used to unlock the vehicle.

Thank you, Don for the replay. I will give it a go one more time. Last time I tried, the mirror dips when I put in the reverse and after that I lower it more but when I put into neutral, it doesn't go fully back to the original position and I have to move it back additionally myself.
Does this remark about keys mean that I need to use my extra pair of keys or it can be done with the original which I originally used?
Thank you

Hello pedjasmek,
the behavior described is correct. If you adjust the mirror in the lowered mode, you are practically changing the basic setting of the mirror. In your example, the mirror then only goes back by the lowering value stored in the key and not to the actual normal position ("zero position"), because you lowered it in lowered mode. This subsequent, additional adjustment is not saved as a new lowering position, but as a change in the "zero position".
As Don already wrote, the only thing that helps here is the redefinition of the procedure he mentioned for each key that is to be used.
The way to the lowering position is practically an offset value to the basic setting in the normal position, so there are two separate position values.
Each key can store these two values for the respective user (also different ones if the user of the other key needs it that way).

Thanks for the replay but I still cannot adjust it evene with a different key.
As soon as I put it in reverse,it goes to the already set lower position and everything is as I already described.

It shouldn't matter for the dipped-mirror position - but to just to humor me, please try the instructions in my post above (dated Apr 28, 2022 at 7:10am) titled "Mirror dip on reverse - does your car have a memory module?" What are the results?

Hi, Don.
I you are asking about live data for the mirror memory the results are: 255%, 255%, not active, not installed and they remain when I move the mirror. Does this mean that I don't have the memory module in my mirrors and in that case, how was it possible to have this one position remembered?
Thank you

pedjasmek : Yes, that's exactly what it means!!
I'm not sure why it remembers the "one position" - what normally happens without memory and mirror-dip activated is that the return position of the mirror changes. Anyhow, clearly without the memory module- the function cannot be expected to operate correctly! Don |
