Auto-tilt side mirrors for reverse.

After driving my stang today I had back up close next to a 18 inch curb. I couldn't really tell how far over I was so I turned the power mirrors way down to see the back tires/curb.

This got me thinking, on the Chrysler 300's they have a feature that automatically tilts your side mirrors down when shifted into reverse.

I'm wondering if there is a product or something similar in other vehicles (has separate module for this) that you could do to a ranger or any vehicle for that matter. Kinda like the auto down module from older Taurus's that can be used to add "auto up".

It would have to be something that has a timed relay that sends power for a certain time (for down) and the same time for it to go back up. Of course each vehicle is different so you would have to tweak this timing for each vehicle.

Go get some of those little adjustable blind spot mirrors. I put them on my Mazda when I had it, and the Ram 2500 with the towing mirrors has them built in and I love them, I would quit driving if I couldn't have those.
