Is it possible to adjust the angle of the exterior mirrors when reversing? Mine barely tilts at all. I actually remember in my previous generation RX you could.

Thanks

I too am interested if this could be done.

FWIW it does not work in my 2013 -- I just went out and tried to change the setting of my mirrors when in reverse, including using the SET memory button while in reverse to see if that would make a secondary setting for the mirrors stick while in reverse. The mirrors of course will move, but when I then go into drive they go back where they normally should, and when I go back into reverse, they did not remember my new (more extreme) setting for reverse only.

I had the first 2013 delivered at my dealer in June, and the Lexus technology guy that took me through my 2013 features said some other models can remember the position of the mirrors BOTH for normal driving and when in reverse. We tried it (as I described above), and it didn't set like he was expecting, so I moved on and figured it wouldn't do the trick. Lexus never advertised this capability, so it would have just been a bonus to me. It's not the best, but I simply compromise with normal mirror positions that work well, and do the best they can when in reverse. I agree it would be great if the 4th gen could go even further down than they do in R wi the gen 3.5 I have.

Honestly, they never reprogrammed them for the LHD market. My 07 RX, 08 IS, 10 RX and 11 IS mirrors all dipped/dip lower on the left side than the right. This is appropriate in RHD countries where the left mirror will be along the curb for parallel parking.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! While you are in reverse, and the mirror is dipped, you can adjust them to your heart's desire to find the curb. No matter what, they will still return to normal when you shift out of reverse. Inconvenient, but less inconvenient than having to dip the mirrors manually every time.

I tried it when I bought the car and it didnt work. It would have been nice to have them go lower.
