Have you checked the hardware code is correct with a car that works? I mean the hardware may have been downgraded.

But what a great site , good find, especially the coding for reducing the headlight washer frequency
Not tried another car. Hardware may well have been downgraded. I only tried it out of curiousity. It's not a feature I've had on a car before so I don't miss what I don't have to be honest.
I phoned SEAT UK a week or so ago about this feature (reverse mirror tilt kerb function) and why it had reappeared in the SEAT UK October 2013 price list, and they said it would be reinstated from factory build week 45. But they didn't seem to think this meant it could be retrospectively programmed back in for previous build-week Leons after the feature was dropped.
It's possibly software driven but the firmware on the car is newer and has that functionality removed and so when the coding is applied to enable the feature the firmware doesn't know what it means and so can't do anything.
Without getting the hardware code from a working car it is difficult to compare. on My late mk6 golf I had to change both door modules and the mirror to get it to work as the memory module is actualy in the mirror and needs compatable modules. I am trying to get the vin from my car (week 40) so my friend at seat technical can look into it.
Enabled the Mirror Tilt function on third attempt. Schoolboy error on my part...I hadn't switched off the Infotainment system whilst trying to activate the menu function for the Tilt. You live and learn. Working a treat now.
That's great news, any chance of posting what needs to be done to enable it for us newbies? or did you just have to follow the site I posted before?
He He He I have made worse mistakes than that. This is great info, so there must be a firmware update due out for the build week 45 to remove the bugs. I am realy pleased they didn't down grade the hardwareEnabled the Mirror Tilt function on third attempt. Schoolboy error on my part...
Yeh just need some one near by with the software. To do so lol
And has any one discussed this with there dealer at all annd did you manage to get any money back or anything to compensate ? I gues they would probably tell you whare to go Nicely but don't ask ya don't get lol

The feature was removed from the brochure during the period so not much for anyone to go on unfortunately.
Yep, as feature removed week 16 prior to order being placed it doesn't count. A friend I have at seat technical has com firmed an updated software is being made, so it would be worth having a word with the dealer. I had my week 40 build car checked and the hardware is able to do it ( this has been proved above with vcds recoding)
When I collected my new Leon last week, I was given a note explaining that reinstatement of the mirror reverse kerb function has been delayed from planned build week 45 and will not now be included until build week 49 2013 (2 December 2013) and also that it cannot be retro fitted or recoded.
