Question Can I add auto-tilt mirrors?

Anyone figured out a way to add auto-tilt function to your mirrors if it wasn't ordered from the factory? I really don't want to scrape my rims and I have to parallel park all the time here in Austin.

I was wondering the same thing, I really would love the Auto-Tilt mirrors and my mom wishes she could keep hers off permanently on her GS >.<

Possible, but most likely very difficult and expensive.

Not only do you have to put whatever computer/mechanism to tilt the mirrors, but you also need to wire it to the Reverse gear...

This company sells modules that do that and more. The price isn't bad either.

that would be expensive to do. You might be able to find a wrecked IS with that feature and figure out the wiring.

Not likely. You need more that just the wiring, they're part of the memory package, etc.
