wait i have an 07 is250
and for some reason it doesnt do it
where does my l and r swith need to be

 

Left side, both goes down... right side, only the driver's side. I think this is what it is... can't remember, I leave it on the left side.

Also you do need to have the Luxury or Sports Package... I don't know if it comes in the newer X-package or not.

 

Interesting, I just got back from vacation with my 2006 IS350 sitting in the garage for 2 weeks and the same thing is happening. It's just the passenger side mirror... The driver's side tilts just fine but the passenger side only tilts 1/4 of the way.

 

Apparently it is a dirt (dust) build up on the pivot point of the mirror mechanism. If you manually move (by hand) the mirrors (mirrors only not the mirror housing) to their extreme positions left, right, up, and down it will loosen up the mirror and the auto tilt should work again.

FYI only IS models with seat memory have this auto tilt feature.

 

is it possible to get this tilt feature added on later?

 

It's really not that cool... the TV/Reverse camera is cooler

 

The auto-tilt mirrors may not be cool, but they are practical. The backup camera doesn't show how close you are to the curb when parallel parking.

(I'm afraid of wearing out the mechanism in the mirrors, so I actually leave mine disabled, and only flip the switch to activate them on the rare occasions when I parallel park.)

 

Do you have the Lux Pkg or Sport Pkg? If not, the mirrors don't tilt.

 

Same issue. Only the driver side one. I realize after some 'time" my mirror is not in the right location. So I have to push the memory seat button.

 

Does anyone notice if both of the mirrors tilt exactly at the same time?
My passenger side mirror tilt ends 1/2 second ahead of the driver's side.
Also the driver's side mirror doesn't tilt as smoothly as the passenger's side.

 

Same here. Unless you are parallel parking alongside a curb they don't do much good. I park in a parking garage where I am more concerned about the concrete pillars, so no need to have tilt down mirrors in this kind of situation. Mine are disabled about 90% of the time.

 

Has anyone taken it in to the dealer for this? Ive had so many bad experiences with LExus dealerships so I wanna wait until I know for sure they will fix this. My left side tilts like 1/4 while my right tilts all the way down. And when I do somehow get the left side to go all the way down, my right side tilts 1/4. So many god damn problems in this car!!!!

 

^same - right now i got tilt mirrors, suspension creaking and engine noise.

 

I just had this problem fixed by my dealer on Friday, July 20th. Over the prior weekend the passenger side mirror stayed in the "down" position and I had to reset it with the memory button. Then, on Tuesday the driver side mirror started only tilting about 1/2" as stated by the first post and would not return to the up position without hitting the memory button.

The dealer fixed the problem by reinitializing the windows. There is a procedure to do this in the owners manual (Page 46 near the bottom) that involves lowering each window half way and then returning it to the up position and holding the switch for 1 second after it is up. This needs to be done from each individual door switch, and not all 4 from the driver's door. This solved the problem and they are working just fine now.

Hope this helps.

I have an '06 IS350 with Luxury Package/ML/NAV

 

i called the dealership and they say its going to take at least an hr to check out whats wrong and i hate going to this particular dealership as they take forevers just to do a simple oilchange (2hrs). i know they check other crap but still 2hrs??? i wonder how long this fix is going to take them
