I have a 2008 IS250 - fully loaded. Im wondering if there is a way to program the angle of tilt on the side mirrors when I reverse? Basically, I'd like to be able to see the ground and when it tilts it is not quite where I need it to be. I can manually adjust the mirror once it tilts, but it always goes back to the original spot the next time. Is this possible?

I believe the only way you will get the desired result (having a view of the ground in reverse) is to adjust the "home" position down a little more so that when you hit reverse the mirrors tilt down even more.

on my '11, the auto-tilt in reverse feature only works when the mirror switch is NOT in neutral (neutral meaning set between the L and R).

It has to be set to either L or R for the auto-tilt to function. Hope this helps on your '08.


edit: oops, I mis-read the question....I don't know how to control/set the final position of the auto-tilt in reverse

I dont like the auto-tilt because ot points too much at the ground and I can see like I'm used to in other cars.

Only has my 06 IS350 a few weeks... I need to read the owners manual to see if I can stop it.

You can stop it. Put the mirror select switch in between (neither L or R) and the mirrors won't turn down.

And I love the turn-down feature! Between the back-up camera and the mirrors, I can easily back into any space (or out for that matter...)

Thanks... I am just so used to my mirrors staying put that I dont know how to back up when the mirrors point to the ground - I want to see the back of the car.

if you buy the side mirrors with the auto tilt function would that add the tilt funct to my non tilting side mirrors? once i replace them of course?

Do some of the IS250 have this feature?

Any 2IS with the sport (not F-sport) package or the Luxury package will have this feature. Otherwise it won't.

I don't know. There would have to be some way to send a signal to the mirror when the car is put in reverse. so it could require another wire to accomplish this.

OK thanks.
