rear view (outside) mirrors adjust themselves?

Post by WoodyBalto »

I recently had a pioneer HU installed using the Metra Axxess GMOS-09 GM Class 2 Data Interface Harness and now when i get in my car i notice that my outside mirrors have been adjusted down. Can this be related? has anyone ever heard of this?

Have you tried resetting your memory settings?

No but i will do that tomorrow.
It it not consistent.The other day the mirrors were tilted down and i had to adjust but today they were where i had left them. i'm the only person that drives my car so i know it's not someone adjusting them.
To add more information i did have the Driver Door Module replaced (with a used one) in the past month.

Do you always use the same keys? If you have two key fobs, and occasionally switch them around, you may find that the memory settings are different (mirrors, seats, radio, etc.) when using one versus the other. This can make it appear that you have intermittent problems, when actually you do not.

always the same key and fob.

I drove a lot today turned my car off 3 different times and only one time did i have to readjust my mirrors. they get pointed down as if i was driving at night and some douche was behind me with there high beams on and i tilted them down to avoid being blinded.

side note... today was a mixed bag of sun and clouds are those mirrors tied into the daylight sensor? do out outside mirrors self adjust for night driving like the one inside?

Set the driver's seat and your mirrors how you want them. Then press and hold whichever button you want to program (Driver 1?) until it beeps twice.
