Is it me or does it feel like when in reverse the side view mirrors auto tilted to low? Is there any way to adjust? I really just want the passenger side to assist in reverse not the drivers side.
So Jeep doesn't let you adjust the mirror position once you put it in reverse and the mirrors tilt, and have it stick? This is the way Audi does it, first of all only the passenger mirror tilts, but then once tilted you can adjust the mirror and that saves as a separate setting basically so it goes back to the same place on tilting that you set it to without upsetting the normal operation mirror setting when driving. Kind of assumed it worked the same way in the Jeep. You can move the mirror once it's tilted in the Jeep I thought?

Yeah I actually tried it again today...you can adjust the mirror all you want while tilted, but neither the tilted nor untilted position is affected after you switch out of reverse, both remain the same as before so you'd have to adjust it every time it tilted...
On my BMW, the mirror tilt was only the passenger side, and only tilted if you had the mirror adjust selector in the right mirror position. Switch it over to the left position and the mirror wouldn't tilt. Try that.

Works the same way in my wife's 2001 VW Jetta, and is great. She likes the mirror to move way low when reversing, whereas I don't like it that low. Both settings are tied to our key fobs.
I had the same complaint after getting the jeep, in my acura only the mirror you select goes down, selecting is quick and easy by just swiping the mirrow adjust left or right. I even went as far as taking the driver panel off and testing the 3 connections to the mirror by unplugging each separetly and thought I found one that wouldnt let it tilt but later that night found that it also disabled the auto dimming, so no luck there.
You would think that by simply reprogramming the software it could be done. I will try to email contact Chrysler and see what kind of response I get. If any!
My response from jeep goes something like this...you can turn off this feature in settings. Wtf? These numb nuts haven't seen the football since kickoff! I don't have the energy to let these donkeys have it. So for $41-50k this is what we get. Lol.
Now that I have a Jeep, I understand your pain. I initially turned the feature on, but after backing up the first time, the mirrors were both way too low. So now it's off, because it's useless. So strange.
Our Hondas and Acuras do it where which side the mirro control switch is selected to will told. Then if you leave it c netted neither will tilt. Unfortunately The Jeeps mirror tilt is basically useless as I'm not gonna sit there and go through settings to turn it on and off when needed. The switch method is PERFECT IMO. Besides, who would want them both to tilt anyway? I don't get it. So the feature is off all the time in my Jeep.
I use those also, rectangular, approx 3" x 2". They're great. But when reversing, I sometimes want a clearer view, especially when parking very close to a curb or obstacle.
I think older WKs had the ability to program this feature using chrysler scan tool. I wonder if the latest WK2s have the ability to change anything such as only one mirror tilting instead of both. Anyone know if mirror tilt has any options in the chrysler scan tools?
