You also have to make sure to flick your selector knob over to the right-hand mirror. If it's on the neutral or left position, the mirror won't dip.

 

Or if you've turned the mirror heat on, right? Because of its use to control dipping, it's unfortunate that the rotary switch is also used to control the heating function.

 

That worked, but only for the right mirror. Shouldn’t it dip both mirrors? I also have the option to synch mirror adjustments turned on. Thanks.

Traditionally in VAG cars, this only dips the curb/kerb-side mirror. I don't know how the ID.4 is expected to behave.

Only the right [USA passenger] mirror is designed to dip when in reverse to aid in curb/kerb-side parallel parking; ID.4 included. Hence why the rotary knob needs to remain in the 'right' position.
This provision has been available on many USA foreign/domestic vehicles for a number of years.

 

Doesn't the knob revert to the center position when you restart the car?

 

I’m a new 23 Pro S owner, and have not been able to get this mirror dip setting to work. I’ve followed this set up procedure from the manual:


Save the passenger-side outside mirror settings when reversing

1. Unlock the vehicle using the key, to which the setting is allocated.
2. Select the reverse gear.
3. Adjust the front passenger outside mirror so that, for example, the edge of the curb can be seen clearly.
4. Shift the transmission to neutral.
5. Switch the ignition off.
   The selected mirror position will be stored and assigned to the vehicle key.
   
   

Perhaps I’m screwing things up on step #5 (switching ignition off). Does one use the button on the right side of the steering column for that? When trying to get the mirror to dip in reverse I’ve made sure to have the selector set for the right-side mirror.

Thanks.

Yes, you can certainly use the button on the steering column - with foot off the brake pedal.
