    Side mirror tilts when car is put into reverse?

    I just read that early 2000 GLX Jetta's have a feature where the passenger side rearview mirror tilts down when the car is put into reverse. This is to help aid in parking. I know BMW's come with this feature and I have always been envious. Has anyone attempted this with their Jetta's or Golf's?
