My Audi A6 did that.

My sister in law has an Audi...not sure what model though ...will have to find out if hers does it

Most of the VW group cars will have the auto dipping as an optional extra and, I believe, on cars where it wasn't specified, it is an easy retro-fit.

As far as examiners go, I see no reason why any should object if a candidate adjusts his mirrors - the mirrors are there to be used (but not over-used!). If the mirrors were not electric, whether teh examiner would move it for the candidate would depend a lot on the examiner, though I doubt many candidates would have the confidence to ask!

Having had the pleasure of sitting next to 10 DSA examiners ..I think you are right. Would I of asked any of them to do this for me...nope...only because I was preoccupied with the test situation!! I think it would take alot of guts to ask...out of my 10 experiences I probably had 2-3 that didnt want to converse at all, I think it would of been hard to ask them, actually I doubt I could of asked any of them if I was honest

My son's car adjusts the nearside mirror for you when you select reverse. I wonder how that would go down with them.

That comes as a feature on many cars with memory electric seats. I love it. I cannot see it being banned by the DSA.
