Automatic side mirror tilt

[Blueline308]

The feature of automatically tilting the side mirrors while in reverse seems to be useless on my 2020 Laramie. They tilt too far down.

Is there a way to program how far they tilt? I've adjusted them while they are tilted, but they revert back again the next time in reverse.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Unfortunately, it seems to be binary...

Well, that's disappointing.

Mine did the same thing to. I now have a gmc at4 and it tilts less, can see the ground but can still see behind me as well

I agree mine tilt too far down rendering them useless, unless you want to see the stripes of the spot you want to park in.

I agree with you there. The tilt down function is completely worthless; RAM needs to reprogram that.

Is the tilt down feature applicable to 2020 Ram only? I’m not aware that my 2019 has that feature. Just as well it seems.

It was available on 2019...you can turn it off in the stereo.

Agree. tilts too much. On my (2012) Audi, it was adjustable... Sheesh.

To me that is exactly what they are for, the lines and curbs. Not to look at cars, that is what the regular mirrors are for. What am I missing?

They just tilt too much. It would give you a lot more field of view while at the same time see the curb if they didn't go so far down.

^^This. Also, I only want the passenger side to tilt when backing into my garage. I could live with how much the passenger side tilts because the convex shape gives it a wider field of vision, but I need the driver side mirror to give me a view of my garage opening so I can squeeze into it and still leave room for the wife's truck.

What option gives you park tilt reverse tilt mirrors? My level 2 ram and 12a packages did not include them. I only have power fold.

Looks like I am not the only one disappointed in how much they tilt. I thought it was just me because I am tall (figured shorter people needed more tilt in a taller vehicle).

Now I am trying to figure out how to actually see THROUGH the tint on my front windows at night to actually use the mirrors to back up (now that I've disengaged the auto-tilt feature). Dealer installed tint and I will enjoy it being in Florida but I dont like relying on the Surround View and Reverse cameras to squeeze in a regular parking spot. Does anyone know if a thread with this problem and/or possible solutions?

I've noticed the same thing. The idea is to see behind as well as possible marked parking space lines or curbs etc. It isn't confidence inspiring or any advantage to only see ground/lines nearly straight down that you already drove past.

I might try to position the 'D' side mirror position so they point slightly upward. It's not ideal but that seems to be routine for FCA these days.

This may not help but I had the tilt feature on at first. Once I got used to the 360 camera setup I decided that far outperformed the tilting camera that I had on my last vehicle. I then turned off the tilting mirrors and have never missed them again.

I turned mine off since when they went back to normal they wouldn't go back to the same spot and they would be all jacked up after about 3/4 times putting the car in reverse. I worked with RAM and they told me to wait for an update which evidently will never come.

I have a new '19 3500 with the auto tilt, and agree they seem to just tilt to the max they can. Useless for me. I turned them off, and since I have the memory for two drivers, I use one for normal, and second for backing up. Wish the original memory would remember where I adjusted the mirror in reverse.
