Do any of the 2001 GS 430 side mirrors move down when you put the car in reverse? I just got the car two months ago. I was surpised they did not. My 2000 LS400 did. Is this a option for the 2001 GS430?

 

none of the 2nd GS do that.

 

The mirrors do not move on my 01 430 when I put it in reverse unless I hit the buttom to move them down. I do not think it was an option on the 01. Don't know about the 02 to 05's

 

I really liked that option in my friends 5-series bimmer and my other friends Acura CL. Is it possible to do a mod since it's in the LS?

 

i don't believe that's an option at all. weird they never had that for the gs when they had it for the ls430, and even my sc430 has it

 

98LS's have it too. On the '99 LS BOTH mirrors slide instead of just the passengers side.

 

i've been complaining about this since day 1....wonder if anyone DIY this on his own since i am sure it is doable..

 

I think it is doable as well...any electrical gurus out there? Can we get the parts from the LS cars and adapt them to ours?

 

Problem is, and all the 98LS owners have the same problem, the mirror does not go back to exactly where it was before reverse was engaged. It always goes a little higher then usual, and then I would have to re-adjust it. I have had this feature off for the past 8 months and totally forgot about it

I tried outsmarting it by setting it lower then usual so it would even out, but that didn’t work either

So I wouldnt get my hopes up about a swap, unless they fixed this issue in the 99's+

 

I don't have a GS yet but how about using the other seat setttings as the "reverse park" where the mirors are already in a dipped position.

 

That would work but the car must be in Park and foot not on brakes in order to use the memory seat function. So it'll be a bit of a hassle just to do that. Easier to just push down on the mirror button.
Automated would be nice.

 

I didn't realize your car had to be in park for that to work....That sucks. I'm surprised Lexus didnt have auto tilt down like they did in their other cars esp ealier LS. Especially being a technologically advanced car coming from japan. Every "Luxury" car has that feature and for quite some time. What an oversight.

 

This topic has been discussed before in regards to the GS. I wish we had it, because it would have saved me from rashing my wheels twice and make parking a whole lot easier. I'm really surprised that they have it available on the 98 and 99 LS but not on the later years.

 

My 2000 LS always went back to the correct position.

 

AS I know, LS98-00, Lx470, SC430 and RX330 have this option. Even my previous LS430 UL doesn't have it!!
