Default Folding mirrors and reverse tilt

Hey guys! I just picked up my 2015 Q5 TDI Premium Plus with tech package and I'm loving the car!

There are 2 things that I can't seem to figure out:

1. In MMI I enabled my mirrors to fold when locking. This works, but only on the driver side mirror. Isn't it supposed to fold both mirrors?

2. How do I get the passenger mirror to tilt when I reverse?

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that I lock the car by the touch sensor on the door ****. Once I do that, only the driver's side mirror folds.

You sure it's not the passenger side tilting down? That's the way on my '14. The drivers side doesn't move.

Both mirrors should fold when locking if you have set that option so seems something is wrong there.

To activate the passenger tilt down when in reverse you need to set the mirror adjustment selector **** to the passenger mirror.

Oh right, forgot that both tilt when locking. Had a brain fart.

Thanks guys! So the passenger tilting mirror on reverse did work - I was initially testing it in my driveway but I didn't realize I had to be driving 8mph for it to go back to its original position.

As for the folding mirrors when locking, at first it was only folding the driver side until it magically folded both mirrors today. I have no idea what changed! But it's working as it should now
