Nearside door mirror tilt function via Carista?

Featured Replies

I realise that the function to tilt the nearside door mirror down on reverse being selected is usually only available on Yetis with the electrically adjustable seats. However, recent events* have led me to thinking that it could be a useful feature to have on my Yeti.  I was wondering whether it is available as a customization in the Carista app but the information on their website seems a little unclear:

(Note: the Carista web page doesn't seem to recognise that there are two 'generations' of Yeti.)

 

Can anyone with full access to the Carista app confirm (or check) whether this customisation works on cars without "memory seats"?  Bearing in mind also that Yeti is a DSG auto, not a manual.

 

I don't maintain an ongoing subscription to the Carista app so I'm basically trying to find out whether it's worth buying a month's sub to effect that particular change.  I have done this in the past for other customisations e.g. mph on the Maxidot, but in every case I've backed out the change after a few days because I preferred the way the car functioned as standard.  But if the mirror tilt customisation would work on my Yeti then I can't see any reason why I wouldn't want to retain it.

 

I know we're only talking about a tenner to check for myself, but if someone else has already tried it and it worked then that would make it easier for me to decided to pry my wallet open!

 

* Specificially: the second time I've had to replace a tyre after sidewall damage from a protruding/damaged kerbstone while parking ☹️

I have tried it and it did not work.
I take it it's the same module that retains the memory for the 2 drivers seat positions that's needed for operating the mirror.

Thanks, I rather suspected that would be the case.  You've saved me a tenner, anyway!

I would presume that models with memory seats would also have 'memory' mirrors (position information feedback) - which a standard mirror wouldn't have, and that is why it cannot be enabled.
