The radio code is stored in the MOST system (DME) so there is no code needed when you disconnect the battery...unless you change ECUs.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

22 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The electronics for my mirror are backwards. If you push the switch to the driver's side position it works the passenger side. If you push up, the mirror goes down. Any clue?

POST 2Original post

its installed upside down take it out flip it over

POST 3Original post

Rob, the really strange thing about this is that you are just now noticing it! If you were Phil G., I could understand this situation 'cuz he never drives his car so he wouldn't have encountered this situation yet! Kind of like Phil's "little green symble" on the gauge cluster thread! That one is still a classic!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No, no it's always been fine... then one day... backwards.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Nope it's in the right spot...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You know what, right about the same time I noticed this I started speaking with a british accent. Cheers mate.

POST 8Original post

intresting try a battery reset un hook both cables and use a jumper to touch both lead toghter ( the cables not the batter)

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I better find the code to my radio first... doesn't it reset when the power is dead?

POST 11Original post

Cool. Now you'll appear twice as intelligent to 99% of Americans. And you can now turn left without looking left.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I've been British my entire life!!!

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That would be, um, shocking.

POST 15Original post

Maybe you got those mirrored glasses on upside down!

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The Oakleys are never wrong.

POST 18Original post

The radio code is stored in the MOST system (DME) so there is no code needed when you disconnect the battery...unless you change ECUs.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah, cool. Thanks for the info.

POST 20Original post

Either that or the switch was always backwards but Rob's dyslexia made it seem normal. When his dyslexia suddenly disappeared, the switch appears backwards to him.

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This explains why I was the only one in my church to believe Santa was the anti-christ.
