From what I understand VZ Calais models have mirrors that turn down slightly when you put the car in reverse? If I'm correct, is there any way I can install this on my VZ without changing much? I may be grossly incorrect though! LEMME KNOW! Has anyone got a similar automatic mirror movement for gutter reversing or reverse parking?

They were on a Caprice that I hired. PITA !
When doing a reverse 45 degree park, all I could see was the ground, not the car next to me.

Is that all it takes is to be activated with a Tech 2.!!!!!!!!!!!!
On a side note
The wifes Aurion has it, but you can turn the function On/Off via the electric mirror switch

Not sure if the HSV manuals have it because i tried it on my SS manual and it didn't work. Must be an auto only thing.

It's been a standard feature on the Caprice since the WK. I would think it would be annoying though.

I was mainly wanting to use it for reverse parking into car parks, instead of moving the mirrors so I can see the lines better, set it up automatically,because I'm lazy. :)
