That is true for the 55, but not for all CLS 63s, according to the manual. Mine is one that did not have the feature and Steve recreated it when he created folding mirrors for my car.

i am too lazy to go down to the car and try this. but keep in mind that the righ mirror adjustment button has to be pressed in for the parking mirrors to work.
now does anyone know how to get a trick mirror kit for this car like the M5?
That is theonly feature on the M5 that I really liked. Oh and the on screen parktronic.

Tip down passenger side mirror
True, the 63 does not have it. I spent 20 minutes trying to engage it. The window sticker states that it has the option, but the manual says "when equipped". I had to call salesman, and he confirmed that the 63's do not have the option. $100k for a car, and no mirror option

I entered the convienience option and the specific mirror mode is missing. That is when I called the salesman, and he went to 2 other CLS63s on the lot to check, then he checked with the service amanger. Something seems odd, I don't have 030, could that be it?

If you have a question, show the sales manager the statement in the manual and see if he can find out from MBUSA, the build date cut off for the feature. Also check the MSRP sticker to see if it is listed there. If listed or if your VIN number is before that date, then kick and scream and asked that it be remedied; if it is after that date, do the same thing, since Steve was able to activate it on my car, and the dealer should be able to do so as well, if its techs are competent.

yeah, already did that to no avail. I have the option per the MSRP sticker, and even referred him to the specific page on the manual. I would rather accept the fact I don't have it, than deal with the excuses at MBUSA. Customer service sucks.

I'll take it back. mine doesn't have the option either. I wonder what gives. Anyone know a good dealer I can take it to down here in Socal that can activate some features and also lower the car. MBLN won't do the lowering from what I have been told.

It works on my 63 and I don't have the 030 package. Turn to page 125 in your owners manual. You need to store the exterior rear view mirror parking position by adjusting the mirror to the curb while pressing memory. See the manual for full details. I'm pretty sure that all the 63's have it. It just requires setting it up correctly.

and if it doesnt, all steve does is activate it with star diagnostic. just have the dealer go in and activate it.
btw, that would **** me off if it didn't have it. but it doesn't matter cause my 55 does have it.

some slow@$$diesels
on ALL 2007 models mercedes took out the mirror-down-when-reversing feature...for the REST-OF-WORLD cars one only needs to set the mirror adjust button to the pass side and this mirror-down feature will still work as before even though it doesn't have the convenience setting menu for that feature in the IC anymore.
On the NORTHERN-AMERICA cars this somehow doesn't work like that and apparently that whole mirror-down-when-reversing thing is completely removed out of the 2007s...
Dealers should know about it as it is listed amongst all other 2007 changes AND dealers ought to be able to get that feature back for you by versioncoding the IC accordingly (the feature still exists but is switched off by default...just like the miles/km setting, the degree F/degree C setting, the 12h/24h setting and so on).
greetingz,

That is a blanket statement that is possibly only correct in the CLS (forum you posted in). In my E it works.

'19 E63S sedan
The "mirror park feature" and key-dependent memory (a 220 thing) were both missing on my '06 S, even though they were in the book. The dealer said they were deleted and showed me the "specs subject to change" disclaimer in the book. After a few rounds of me griping, they agreed to turn them on with version coding if I agreed that they were not covered by the warranty. I'll deal with that in the future if need be, but they work fine now.
Pester your dealer to activate the park feature via version coding. MB has turned off these features because they cause too much user confusion. Trouble setting the position and remembering to have the right-hand mirror set has cost MB untold unreimbursed service visits. Key-dependent memory was even worse.
