I fitted folding mirrors to my car then coded to auto fold when you lock.
I have found that I don’t always want them to fold so you untick the box in MMI butthen tick again to activate.
It’s a pain in the a$$ but I found coding that overcomes this

This was done with OBDeleven

With all of the oblivious, obese people and pickup trucks in Texas, having auto-folding mirrors is a great benefit. A guy in a pickup wanted to start a fight with me once at a mall because I stared at his obese wife when she exited their truck and callously smacked my mirror with the door.

In Canada. Folding mirrors were completely reliable last winter. The power windows are completely UNreliable though :mad:

Could you please put step by step instructions for this?

A double click or press lock and hold fold them instead of having them fold instantly, correct? I'll give this a shot tonight.

Yes but you need to untick fold mirrors in MMI after coding

But, right.. in the USA it doesn't matter.

That's why we fold our mirrors.
