The memory function does this when you open car with fob , but I have never had it happen on my '01 coupe when you get out. The seats will go back if you have that set in your DIC when you stop but not the mirror's. Just thought of something. Do you have your memory functions set ? Maybe if not set it does that. Just a thought.

Thx I'll check the memory functions. It gets annoying adjusting the mirror every time I get in it. Thx again

It's not normal to have to adjust the mirror. If you press the unlock button on the fob before you open the door (even if the door isn't locked), the memories should all go to the preset for whichever fob you unlocked the door with when you put the key in the ignition. Set the mirror where you want it, along with the radio presets, etc. and hold down the #1 memory button until it flashes. Then when you unlock the door with the #1 fob, everything should go to where you last set it. Or you can just press the number 1 memory button quickly after you get in the car and turn on the key.

The memory will set the mirrors, climate control and seats also.
