All folding mirrors have that functionality IIRC  :confused:

You need to make sure the mirror switch is left or right mirror adjust setting (can't remember which) for it to work  :happy2:

Just tried it steve and it doesnt work when in reverse and in either L or R :sad:
is there not also something about having factory fitted reverse parking sensors :confused:
unless someone knows of changing the coding or something,u have it without memory seats which now makes me think there has to be a way :confused:

i know of people without parking sensors that have reverse dip, that said not sure what other hardware is needed, i do know that reverse dip can be enabled via vag com, and as you havnt done any programming hopefully this is your problem
