Question regarding Fold-in Mirrors
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
In my car the side mirrors automatically folds in when I lock the car. As my car is usually parked in a private garage, I don't need this to happen every time I lock the car.
I did a search and found that you can make the mirrors fold in by pushing both the "mirror adjustment buttons" at once, but I have not found a way to stop the mirrors from automatically folding in when locking the car....
I have tried to find it in the setup menu, but with no luck.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Edit: I think I found it after looking in the owners manual (Electronic Version, as my paperback is in German and I don't understand that particularly well....). Seems like this is something that has to be enabled/disabled by the dealer/workshop.... argh....

I was planning on asking the dealer during my next service, because this is the one thing I hate about this car. I don't want the goddamn mirrors to fold in ever. There is no need. If you're parking that close to someone you wouldn't be able to get out of the car anyways! Every time I take a picture of the car I have to leave it on and trick the car into thinking the key is inside and the doors are locked. It's so frustrating!
I feel your pain.

Also if on occasion you have to park on the street, cyclists or other motorists who could care less about your property. My brother's car got hit by another vehicle, the only thing damaged was the drivers side mirror which was left hanging at the side door.

If the automatic function is disabled, you can still fold them in by pushing down the two mirror buttons (the ones where you chose which to adjust) simultaniously.
I would like to have the oppertunity to fold them when I find it convenient, but I don't want them to fold inn everytime I lock the car....

you obviously don't live in a city where you have to park on the street / the streets are not narrow. i didn't have auto-folding mirrors on my previous BMW and i had to manually fold/unfold the mirror every time I had to go into the city. one of the streets i have to drive down, i fold the mirrors in just to make it down the street.
