passenger side mirror down on reverse, or has this feature been removed? Activating the right side mirror button does not cause this to happen.

Thanks, and happy new year.

DID you try activating it via the menu on the steering wheel/speedo panel?

I think I read that this feature has been deactiviated on the 07's. I have an 07 SLR and could not get it to work.

That's what the dealer will tell you but it's BS. We have an 07 and the back up mirror function worked great for several months until we took it in to the dealer to activate the chirp confirmation.
The chirp confirmation now works but the mirror function is gone. The dealer even tried to tell me that my vehicle NEVER came with that feature .

There are a few others on this board with 07's that have a functional back-up mirror.

Is that chirp confirmation when you lock your SL? I really miss having that on mine

I have the chirp.
I have no idea what my dad did. He went in to replace some roof panels because one was lost, it's nice, awkward though.

All the cars I remember have two unlock, one beep for lock. The Mercedes is short for unlock, long beep for unlock.

Three quick chirps when you lock and one chirp on unlock.

Well, I am chirping on lock/unlock, with light flash--but I believe that there just -ain't no- way to make that mirror go down automatically.

Maybe it's just me but this seems like MB is listening to their Chrysler accountants that came over in the deal.

"Yessir, it is a six figure automobile, but we felt it necessary to delete a feature that is quite convenient, but required a software license that represented $17 per vehicle..."

Is that only for 07's or is it something that can be activated for any SL by the dealer?

I really hope it's the latter!
