Tow mirrors or regular mirrors?
And what is the purpose of "tilting" them.

I think it's called curb mode, basically they tilt down when going in reverse to allow you better visibility of a curb or low wall or whatever when backing out.

I liked the idea of it, but with the 360 camera it would be less useful.

Doubt I waited that long, but good to know there's a time delay; thanks man. Next time I use the truck will try to remember to give that a try and see what happens .

At any rate, I just checked my codes and there were FOUR changes needed: I changed them (in ascending order) to F/FC on DDM, and F/FC on PDM.

Finally, I never used them until recently, and was surprised not to see them tilt when selecting R. So clicked on the right mirror and it tilted. That was when parking the truck. Remember perfectly that I noticed it didn't tilt back to normal after selecting N, or even P. Also thought it was strange, so deselected the mirror, and it went back to normal. Maybe if you take off they might reset at 'x' MPH, but who knows. At least it seems to be a 'normal' aspect ot that, if that helps. The idea of setting up memory 3 is not a bad idea, but I'm fine having to deselect the mirror if needed. Better than not having tilt reverse, no?
When I was just playing with my mirrors, If I go to a different gear then reverse the mirrors will return with in about 10 seconds.
