Did you enable the feature in the settings menu on your radio? 240f578dd4e1fffb9cf8148f10940649.jpg

Doesn't the mirror tilt functionality require the memory seat/mirror option to work? It's been a while, but I was pretty certain that was the case when I looked into it last year (maybe the year before).

You don't need memory seats in order to have the tilt in reverse work. You Do need memory capable mirrors. If your mirrors have 4 or more wires in the white mirror connector they are memory mirrors. You also don't need different door modules. All that is needed for the tilt in reverse to work besides the correct mirrors is to enable the driver and passenger mirror memory codes plus the tilt in reverse code in the CSM section. I have seen some cases including my truck where it wouldn't stay selected in the radio settings menu when I selected the tilt in reverse. It turned out my drivers side door module was the problem. I replaced it and they have worked fine ever since.

Are you sure you have memory mirrors? You must have 4 or more wires in the white mirror connector in order for them to be memory mirrors. Usually only the chrome laramie mirrors are memory. Painted Sport mirrors are not memory unless they come on a Laramie with the Sport package.

Are these the mirrors that have tilt in reverse, the memory mirrors? They have 5 and 6 wires per connectors
