Side mirror tilt in Reverse

Is there a way to set the driver side mirror to tilt down when engaging Reverse ?

Right side will tilt. When in reverse, tilt the mirror using the adjustment buttons on the driver door. It will move back when put in drive. It will move to that spot the next time you are in reverse. The left may do it as well. I haven't tried though. Can't remember if you have to store it in a memory slot but I believe you do.

Ok it looks like passenger mirror will tilt in reverse if mirror switch is left on passenger position once you've initialized desired position.

Better than nothing but would prefer driver side mirror would do this but it doesn't

Some car does tilt on both mirrors but MB never did, that said, might be possible to code it in.
