Auto Dipping Mirrors

[RossCo74]

Can anybody confirm which model of IS300h comes with the auto dipping wing mirror feature? I have a Luxury model just now, 7 months old, but about to take delivery of an identical Sonic Titanium in Premium spec next week (long story, but only costing me a few pounds more each month thanks to an incredible deal!).

I don't believe my Luxury has this feature as I've never seen it happen. The handbook mentions lots of customisation options that I can't seem to get to on my premium nav system. i.e. i had to change my indicators from 3 to 5 flashes using the well document and long-winded sequence of flicking wiper and light stalks, etc.

(In fact I asked the dealer to change it and they told me it couldn't be done so I e-mailed them the instructions published in this forum and they were mortified with embarrassment that they didn't know about it)

Will my Premier model have the auto dipping mirrors?

IIRC you need to have the leather seat option to get the auto dipping mirrors.

I have the leather electric option at the moment but I've definitely never seen the dipping mirror option anywhere or seen it work

You need the leather memory seat factory fit option. Both mirrors auto dip on reverse. They also retract on locking the car, but I'm not sure if the latter function is limited to the memory seat option.

Ross - Do your mirrors auto fold on locking the car (need to leave auto mode selected on the mirror switches)? If so then I think they should be able to dip when reversing.

Thanks for the replies! I don't have memory seats or auto folding mirrors just now which explains the lack of feature. It means my Premier will have it though so I'm happy! :-)
