Default Hello! A7 wing mirror question...

Hello All,

I recently bought an Audi A7 2011.
I realized the wing mirrors do not fold once car is locked.

Is that normal? I've checked google but couldnt find the answer hence my question here.

Your help and input will be appreciated.

Thanks,

KM

You don't mention what A7 trim you have - power folding mirrors were incuded only in the Prestige trim. If you have a Prestige, check you mirror control **** - there is a position at the 6 o'clock which will fold the mirrors. Also, there would be a setting in the MMI that would automatically allow the mirrors to fold when locking the car. It's in the manual.

Welcome to the forum!

Mirror control switch on the drivers side door.
12 o'clock for mirror heating
10 or 2 o'clock (depending on RHD or LHD) for passenger side mirror to tilt down for parking
6 o'clock for mirrors folding in

snagitseven / tenspeed - thank you guys for your prompt replies.
I will check tonight and let u further.

@ snagitseven - im not sure of the 'trim' to be honest, its a standard 205 S'Line, I dont think its Prestige either.

Sorry, this is my first Audi... and boy do I love it!

I was partially correct, sort of - in the A7 2012 order guide it shows power folding mirrors were included with the Innovation pkg (Prestige only) or Driver assist pkg (Premium Plus/Prestige).

I have a late 2011/2012 A7 and it doesn't have folding mirrors. I didn't realise until I'd got the car home but I have to manually fold them if I want them folded.
