Passenger Mirror pointing downwards on reverse

Hi Roccos,
According to the manual, the passenger mirror should be able to be set to move slightly downwards on reverse (makes reverse parking/alloy damage prevention easier). Can't seem to see the option in the menu MFD though. Am I missing something in my half asleep-ness this morning?
Done a whopping 20 miles in the car so
but going to take her for a run at the weekend. LOVE the damn thing already!

I don't suppose with the latest Rocs and VAGCOM this is doable somehow without folding mirrors?

Sadly not - it requires dedicated mirror unit with memory function.

Really - but the mirror is a different unit (with memory function)?

Yep. This sits between the gateway and the ecu.
Has lots of other functions as well!

I dont suppose it can make the mirrors fold in / out when using the fob to lock / unlock ?

No mate
That requires a motor.

Lee's mirrors are motorized (folding). Nobody has figured out how acheive this function on a Roc.

Pity it's so expensive - would have been similar price to just get the folding mirrors in the first place
Although that made me think - if it is indeed possible to do with the Polar box without any hardware mod to the mirror, there must be a setting somewhere in VAGCOM?

I paid £180 for a brand new one from the group buy, has a digital boost gauge and mirror dipping (plus lots of other nice things) but alone is worth £180
