Is it feasible to add dipping nearside door mirror to my Boxster?
Pretty sure it was an option, but either not fitted or not working on mine.

It only came with 14 or 18-way memory seats, pretty sure you'll struggle to add it as a stand-alone option!

Did it (sort of) with the Carista App. Mirror doesn't go down as far as you would like it, but depending on how tall you are you might find it useful. Only costs a tenner to try so maybe worth a punt. I had the standard sports seats.

This and a few other things used to be possible with that nifty box of tricks - the SmartTop device.

According to their website dipping the mirror is nolonger a feature on the 981/718.

I would have liked auto dipping nearside wing mirror on reverse as well but only have the folding wing mirror option which doesn't include this. In a similar vein does anyone know whether a PDK 981 can be coded so that the handbrake comes on when you come to a complete stop? It does when you're on a incline, due to the hill hold feature, and wondered whether it could be enabled all of the time.

I previously had a VCDS cable, and an Audi A5, and there were quite a few settings which you could change although this doesn't seem to be the case with Porsche.
