I noticed that the passenger side mirror doesn't always fold town when I am in reverse gear. I double checked the settings in the cluster and it is enabled to move down.

Is there anything you suggest I could do before I bring it in for a check up?

Maybe some connection problems...

are you switching keys? Just a thought, but i think they each have a driver memory setting that might be fouling you up...

Mackhack

I only have one key at all... So this can't be it?

Many including myself fall victim to hitting the driver’s side button; the passenger button needs to remain in for the passenger mirror to tilt - just a reminder.

Oh Konigstiger, I think that's it. I adjusted my seat a bit and therefore also the mirrors and used the button to switch mirrors. I'll check into that later... Thank you for this hint!!!

I gave up on mine. It will tilt down then back up but never to the correct position. I put it in the correct position car in Drive and then do a memory reset, but it still never returns. Finally I took it to the dealer. They set it for me while I was in the car. Still it never returns. So I surrender.

That's why they turned it off as a menu selection in '07. ...Too much owner frustration.

Did they replace the passenger door control unit? EPC shows parts # was replaced 6 times for the 211.070 with current being 2118702885.

Mackhack

Would that be covered under warranty?

Ja

Oh ein Deutscher wie schoen!!! Bist du in Deutschland oder in USA???

Just to confirm... It was the button to switch the mirrors!

They told me and invoiced replacing it. But who knows what really happened.
It may not have the most current. But consider it takes 2 days and I have to drive 200 miles to have it done it doesn't go to the dealer until a big event is needed. However I have had the suspension raise malfunction for about 3 months. They could find no problem last time for this issue. It will go back for that I will check the mirror issue again.

Thank you for posting this. I've been trying for several weeks to figure out why my passenger side mirror wasn't working when I was in reverse, but sure enough, once I pushed the button in, it works again!

Mackhack

Isn't it just like a miracle?

Mackhack

I know an old post and I was wondering if there is a remedy for the problem that all of the sudden the mirror won't come back up when I switch from R to D. I have to push repeatedly the memory button that holds my seat/mirror/steering column setting to bring it back up. Is there a newer door control module perhaps @ Konigstiger? I don't wanna disable the feature as it helps a lot to see the curb and the bushes in the rear better.

I found out something that helps temporarily:
Tilt the mirror glass all the way up and all the way down 3 to 4 times in a row. Then place it into position you like for D. Then save it again with M + 1, 2 or 3. With mine it works fine for about 4 to 8 weeks. Then it starts all over again.

Weird thing is that there is never a error code saved in the door control module which would help to determine what really the problem might be.

If I have some spare time I might just buy a used DCM with a newer software and see if that makes any difference.
