You mean there's a mirror dip ?

As there was on the Golf R.

Golf R had it by default.

Audi S3 without the folding mirror option can do the LHS mirror dip by enabling it with VCDS - uses the power mirror motor.

Those with the folding mirror option as we have, automatically get the LHS mirror dip function enabled.

yes, passenger mirror can dip to look at gutter for reversing. People say it can get out of whack if you don't have the folding mirror package but mine seems ok with very infrequent use.

I still haven't seen the need to make any changes with VCDS. I did set up with a tuner in Brisbane to do some before I got the car but haven't found the need and the less things get touched the better IMO.

Does anyone know if it is possible to permanently disable Audi Pre-Sense?

Also I have Adaptive Cruise Control and thoroughly hate it, can cars with ACC be coded to use normal cruise control?
