Yes, will tilt when you are in reverse mode. Take your car to the dealer and they will do it at no cost. It takes only 2-3 minutes to do it. They will hook up the computer and programmed...They did my 09 e

There has been conflicting info on this for over a year. I took mine to the dealer and asked them to do it and they said impossible. They showed me a notice from MBUSA that said it has been "decontented".

Maintenance told me that it is "disabled" for W211s before 2009 and can be "enabled" via computer. For 2009 models it was "removed" and cannot be "enabled."

Wow... then my two 2009 E350's must be the exception!
I think you should go to another COMPETENT dealership to get it done... obviously the dealership/rep that told you that doesn't know much about the 2009 W211 AND doesn't care enough to research the problem, or that they are just telling you an excuse because they really don't want to do it for you (like a few other dealerships I've heard of).

Then apparently MBUSA put the motor in my two 2009 E350's then...
If a dealership wanted to, all they would have to do is hook up their computer, change 3 field variables, and it works. I know, I watched the drive tech enable this feature on both my 2009 E350's. It took less than 10 minutes.

Of course its designed to tilt down. You can tilt the mirror down manually to the curb watching position any time you want. The feature was disabled by deleting the user selectable menu item in the cluster by MB for MBUSA market vehicles at MBUSA's request.

It has nothing to do with the mirrors. Its all in the motor movement.
So they are using different motors for ROW than US. And you know this how?

There was a rumor I heard from a S/A when I bought my car back in summer of 07 that the 08 cars wouldn't come with the auto tilt down feature when you put key in/take key out.
