Hi

Everyone just brought a 55plate X5 d sport,well pleased.But have an issue with the passenger door mirror.

When put into reverse on the auto box the mirror automatically moves to see kerb level,may be good idea but not for me!!

Is there anyway simple way i could disable it so the mirror dosn't move when put into reverse??

Cheers.

    Your car needs a laptop connection to the OBD2 socket to set preferences... This can be done at a STEALER or, like I said, a laptop with cable and simple software...

    Hi guys, on mine all you have to do is make sure the mirror switch is flicked to operate the passenger mirror and it stops it dipping in reverse.
