Rear view mirror tilt up/ down after unlock

Hi all
the rear mirror of my X1 tilts up or down after unlocking the car as if the setting of the mirror is forgotten. I have to adjust it again. This only occurs at passenger side mirror.
some mates of our owners club got this problem too.
does any body encounter this problem?

Passenger side mirror has auto tilt in reverse so maybe your hopping in and immediately going into reverse? This will cause the passenger mirror to tilt down if the adjustment switch is left in passenger position.

Try moving the switch for the mirror so it's left in the driver size position and check.

I think that should be problem of some sensors or memory module...

So are you saying the passenger mirror didn't move up or down at all when reversing no matter what position the selector switch is in?

If that's the case then your mirror select switch is the likely issue.

You mean passenger mirror goes down in reverse? What about the driver mirror?

We had this problem for the first 2 years, does the mirror face all the way up or down and not return until you use the mirror adjustment to manually adjust back ??

Only passenger window does it when switch is in the right position when reversing. It's so you can see the kerb on the far side.
