So I have the car in the title, and I love that the side wing, rear view mirrors dip / point down when the car is in reverse. And as expected, they *attempt* to revert back to the original position, but fail. They appear to overshoot, and I have to manually adjust them back into position. Normally they return with a angle pointing slightly into the sky 😠

I know I can turn off the tilt on reverse, but I find it very useful when reversing out of my VERY tight garage.

Is this normal or common?

I tried the window reset type procedure. ie move to highest then to lowest. And it did not change.

Any other suggestions? Is there another trick?

I never had this problem in mine.

What about using the seat position buttons?

Don't they remember steering wheel and mirror positions?

It's not a fix but im thinking you could just press the memory button to return it to your preset position

Mine is a 2008 370GT SP Coupe,. and I have never experienced any seat position memory/return. It does not have the 1-2 buttons on the door, for different driver's. Are they the "seat position" buttons you are talking about?

I drove yesterday, and I noted that the passenger side actually returned pretty much spot on and did not need adjustment after reversing. But, the drivers side did after every reverse. Its not a total killer, as I leave the "side control" turned to the drivers side, and its becoming almost a muscle memory to tilt it down again after reversing. But obviously still not the best way to be.

yeah. 

Maybe my memory of my car is wrong. I did have 2011 V36 SP, maybe in the newer model it had them.

It was also an option on the earlier models, and another being heated seats.  I saw some when targeting my year. Neither of which mine has.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
