Default Folding Mirrors

Two quick questions about my mirror on my 08 A8L.

Is it a way to have them automatically fold when starting the engine and stopping the engine. (I know how to do it by the ****)

Also I've seen several different people with A8 and A8L have their mirrors folded in and up on an angle. "How they do that"

There is no way to set automatic folding.

Up and on an angle they go on 2004-2007 cars.

Thank you... I wonder why they left that feature out... I notice some of the Q models have it.

Not really serious, but if you have horizontally fold mirrors and like ones that go up on an angle we can swap them.

When you say automatically fold what do you mean? If you have the switch to 7 o clock does it not automatically fold up when you stop the engine and unfold when you start? (That's what mine does) I'm curious as to what other way you would want it.

Mine doesn't have a 7 o'clock position. Just 10(right), 0(center), 2(right), and 6(Down). 6 position folds the mirrors in and they stay that way until the switch is turned
