I had the factory seats on my 02 S replaced with GT3 seats and the passenger mirror still goes down when I shift to reverse.

I am guessing after I replaced my stock seats with GT3 seats did the auto down feature of the passenger mirror go away with the control module that left in the stock drivers seat?

To enable this, the car must be in reverse when setting the seat memory

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I think I already know the answer to my question. I am guessing after I replaced my stock seats with GT3 seats did the auto down feature of the passenger mirror go away with the control module that left in the stock drivers seat? I am guessing this is the case and just want to know if I am right. Thanks

POST 2Original post

weird: I have a '02 Boxster and my passenger mirror does not go down when in reverse

POST 3Original post

Cars with seat memory have the option to have the pass side mirror swivel down when reverse is engaged. To enable this, the car must be in reverse when setting the seat memory To disable, don't have the car in reverse when setting the seat memory. I would assume that if you removed the seat control module, that the swiveling mirror option goes with it. Perhaps if you leave the control module in place (even without the power seats), you could still have the auto-swivel mirror functionality.

Ah! that 'xplains it! I don't have any of them fancy-pants memory seats ;-)
