Reverse Mirror Tilt Angle
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

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.
