Question side view mirrors

Would anyone have an idea on how to make the mirrors adjust themselves downward when putting you car into reverse like in those luxury vehicles? I know it's possible.

Sell your car and buy a luxury vehicle with them on it? If you have power sideview mirrors, you will probably have to build some kind of box that will adjust them on upon putting your car in reverse (aka hitting a reverse switch).

I'm certain you know that Acura TL's do that, I'm not sure about the rest of them. you could probably look for a module or something off one those cars and hook it up. Besides have you ever drivin a car with this feature? I found to be a pain the *** when backing up or into a spot.

I keep my switch set to passenger side and then just lower it when needed.

Yeah my mom has it on her car and I love it to death! I would just adjust it manually but I don't want to take them out of the "sweet spot".
