Is there a way to set this up so that the mirrors automatically fold when the car is locked and automatically unfold when the car is unlocked?

I have the MMI 2G interface.

Do I need to get into the hidden green menu to enable this feature?

Thanks!

That's not d3 a8
it's possible with a relay and some wires cutting modification.

oohhh thats a shame these cars didn't come standard with this feature. Guess I will have to just manually close them lolz...

Thank you.

You are so right.
When I first discored mine I used them for a week now they are down all the time.

In over 5+ years of D3 ownership, I have never used it. I've tested it but here in the US, parking spaces are wide enough so we really don't need them. I can see in European countries it could be useful.

+ about 5 now. Could care less about feature in D4 S8. Wife uses them a bit for Q5, but that is because Q5 has the absurd elephant ear mirrors from last Q7 parts bin that stick way out.

To me it is just one more of those things that in a parking lot can stand out a little bit to the low life and who knows why car keying whacks. Also another one of those motorized or electronic things like trunk, MMI display, keyless entry or soft close seemingly bound to have issues 7 or 10 years out. Just ask any of us w/ D3's about those... Even the separate tilt down passenger side mirror function for that matter, though I use that and like some of the others--soft close and (sort of) the trunk stuff.
