Thanks very much for your help... I will try that next time I'm in the car.

On mine it works differently. With the **** in the 2 o'clock position the right mirror tilts down when I shift into reverse. In the 6 o'clock position, both mirrors fold in. I can't get the driver (left) mirror tilt down.

Mine seems to work fine.. In the 6:00 position the mirros do fold back completely, but in the 6:00 position they are out and then the defroster works.

Sorry for the typo, in the 6:00 position they turn in and the 12:00 position they fold out and the defroster works.

Sammersam said "On my BMW there was a setting to have the right side mirror angle down when in reverse so you could more easily see the curb. Does anyone know if Audi has the same?"

You said "Yes. Turn the **** on the door to the right at 2'o clock for the right mirror tilting. Turn the **** to the left for the left mirror. Turning the **** to the 6'o clock raises both mirrors up."


I would like to do this too as I park in the city often - have been lucky that I haven't scratched the wheels yet.

The instructions do not seem to work for me. I have side assist - don't know if that has something to do with it.

Should not as I have side assist also and the right mirror does tilt down in reverse.
