Wild Guess: IIRC, the mirror should dip when you put the car into
reverse, so you can see the curb as you back up.  It sounds like
something got screwed up, so it's putting the mirror into reverse
mode when you diddle with the remote.

I don't know why, or how.  Another wild suggestion: change the
battery in the remote. It may be a weak battery not sending a
full signal?
