Hey guys,
has anyone had any issues with mirror tilting when in reverse? Is it a vehicle setting?

The Type-S doesn't have reverse tilt, but it can be added using either of these from Mikstore:

A couple things to note, if you get the Mikstore kit (not sure whether these apply to the more expensive Honda OEM kit on their site):
- The connector on mine was different than the car's mirror connectors. I had to de-pin and swap the connectors to make it work. I believe they have updated this since then and now include the correct connector.
- Setting the correct position is a bit tricky. I remember having to hold the mirror adjustment in the "down" position while putting the car in reverse, and not letting go until it was in the spot I wanted it. If I got it wrong, I'd have to repeat the entire process. Not sure if this still applies.
- The aftermarket kit I got had no way of disabling the mirror tilt. I quickly realized I mostly prefer to have it off, and only turn it on when I'm parallel parking. I ended up wiring a latching switch in line with the wireless reverse-signal controller. If you get the OEM kit, you should just be able to set the mirror switch to R(ight) when you want it to dip.
If you want more details, I made a thread about all this a while back: https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/side-mirror-reverse-auto-tilt-install.51817/
