ok guys if you have memory seats and heated side view mirrorsyou can have the dealer enable auto tilt side mirrors!

this means when you put your truck in reverse the side mirrors will turn down slightly automatically for you. After you take the truck out of reverse, they will go back to their normal angle!

starscan process to print out and bring to your dealer.

Many Chrysler vehicles come with a user-programmable feature that allows the side mirrors to automatically tilt downward when the vehicle is put into reverse. This can be useful when parking near curbs. This feature can be enabled on 2005-2008 models of the Grand Cherokee Limited, Overland and SRT8, b

The heated mirrors activate when the widshield defrost setting is chosen (foot and defrost or just defrost) or the rear defrost switch is active. As far as i know. I have seen mine defogg when using either.

Best way to try it now, wait for a cold morning or when there is dew on the jeep, or any time there is a light mist on the mirrors.

You will notice it working almost right away.

I'm wondering when I switch from my mirror to my painted cryco mirror will the auto tilt down still register (swapping an old mirror for a new one)..?

Ok I got my oil changed and told them to enable my mirrors (08 ltd, heated seats, power seats/memory, auto-dim) and they could not figure out how to enable...HE said that it is not in your options/preferences on your on-dash display, and I said no it is something you have to do and is not able to be activated through onbaord computer...so after reading this they need to use the scan tool to do this? What a bunch of idiots at the dealer...what exactly do I tell them to do to enable? I want this mod

Update: I swapped my mirrors for the painted srt set and they don't link up to the seat memory and complimenting this problem, they don't do the auto tilt function anymore. I assume I'll need to go to the dealer to get this issue resolved but for the time being I can live with it.

I guess the memory is in the motor of the mirror...? Could there be another reason why they aren't hooking up to the rest of the system?

The motor works on the mirrors, every direction works on both sides. It also has me wondering if the heated mirror function works too but it hasn't been cold enough to test it out. Either way it may or may not cost me b/c I'm past the 3/36 but I'm a good customer so it should be alright ;)

Everything clipped in fine but I didn't compare the wires or their color.
 
#50 ·
yeah....all the mirror connectors are the same....so they all will clip in. For instance I have auto dim drivers SRT mirror on my laredo...but the auto dim didnt work till i ran a power to it. But it doesnt make sense as all SRT's had memory seats etc. Did you reset the Jeep buy removing the negative wire and depressing the brake pedal a couple times? Maybe that will help.....

It just doesnt make sense for the mirrors to have to be activated by starscan again........
 
#51 ·
Yeah I don't know.. I had the battery disconnected through the whole process. I installed the new mirrors then reconnected the battery. I'll go out and unhook it again and see what happens.
 
#53 ·
The original owner of the mirrors sold them b/c he wanted power FOLDING mirrors.. so they're not broken either.

My guess is a starscan and go from there...

My service writer was like WTF are you talking about... LOL But they did it. IDK why they wouldn't come like that. Thats like having power windows but still putting a crank handle in. LOL
