The 05 loaner I have has auto tilt down mirrors when the car is shifted to reverse, how hard would this be to do on an 03? Any ideas?

You basically need the computer for the memory seats and mirrors ,this would use a tirgger from the reverse gear to activate the tilt down.

I lowed the feature at first at work as it was new to me and worked.

That was until i needed to actually see what was behind me and not the pavement or curb.

Now i find it an annoyance when i move cars around.

I agree. I don't like the tilt down mirrors because you can't see whats in back of you, but you can see what your tires are about to run over. I've had a couple of close calls because of this. I still leave it on becuse when I pull into a parking space, I put it in reverse so I can make sure I am in the lines and in far enough. But for backing up its not that great.

You can turn it off by moving the mirror adjustment L/R selection lever to the middle.

Steve,

heard a few people (like Sharad below) who quite like the idea of this - but get a bit peeved with living with it day to day.

Does the ES have memory seats?

If so - use the second position so it is exactly the same as the first, except with the mirrors titled down. Then, when you want them titled - just shift to P, and hit 2.

Once you finish parking, hit 1 again ;)

Yep it has memory seats, but the second position is my fiance's seat setting.

Eh, no big deal.
