Default Disable auto-dropping passenger mirror?

Greetings. I really dislike this feature, not to mention that i think it resets itself at a higher level than it was previously. Does anybody have a tip to disable it without affecting the functionality of the power mirror? I'm thinking this would have to be accomplished at the shifter somehow, but I don't know. Thanks in advance.

Sadly, that takes a trip to the dealer. It is an optional setting in the dealer software. That means your car has to be hooked up to the Jag software in order to change the setting.

The dealer is NOT the only option if you can find a shop with WDS (for cars up to 2006) or IDS (later years) and reconfigure modules with the 'Dealer Options' capability.

I have WDS and I have reconfigured customers cars to whatever they want!!!

When I worked at the dealer I used to tell the Sales Dept to have the customer come out to the shop for a one time 'get the car the way you want it' session or it is charged to the sales dept or the customer for additional configurations.

There was a shop owned/run by Andrew in Ohio (jagtechohio or something like that) that has a WDS so he might be able to help. He has not posted in a while but still might be available.

Of course you are correct. I should have said, "You can't do it yourself, you need a proprietary device or access to one". My local indy has one and he wants $80 to plug it in.
