Guys, anyone have a fix for my side view mirrors not dipping when I select reverse? I checked in the set up and the box is definitely checked for them to dip on reverse. Its a 2018 R-line with DAP if that makes any odds.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Don’t forget you have to program it first:
1. Turn-on ignition but don't start the engine
2. Select Reverse
3. Select the passenger side on the mirror knob,
4. Adjust the passenger mirror position to where you want it to see the kerb,
5. Take the car out-of reverse and return to park (neutral)
6. Turn-off the ignition and the passenger mirror should return to the normal position (if you have the memory control module).

That is not my experience.I have a 3 month old TIguan Adventure and all I do is ensure the mirror position is in L and it auto dips when put in reverse.

+1 to your wife for using side mirrors when reversing! So many people don’t do that and they struggle when reverse parking.
