Disable Automatic Folding Mirrors

Eco Start
Thanks Thermo,
I go to the Jag Dealer in Annapolis for warranty service. I concur with your opinion. I appreciate the advice regarding hooking up a STDP switch and pin locations. I don't think I want to go through the hassle, though. I'll live with it. However, in as much as you have the schematics, do you have any suggestions about cleverly disabling the Eco Stop Start function so that I don't have to put up with pushing the off button every time I fresh start the car. I know I can disable it by disconnecting the negative cable to the small battery but that also produces a fault code. Any knowledge with regard to tricking the system like using any of the Stop Start inhibitors like the trailer light circuit to fool the system into thinking you have a trailer and inhibit the function? Or using the brake boost sensor circuit which also inhibits the function?

Search the forum and/or "Google" disconnect Eco Start/Stop Jaguar. There's a lot of detail on the subject and many "how tos", based on year and model. Originally, all one had to do is disconnect the small battery, as newer models came out, it was buried way down deep in the electronics, but still doable.

Holding both mirror select buttons on the driver's door of my 2017 Jaguar XJL (Supercharged) only folds the mirrors in / out. How do I determine if the "folding mirror" feature is being turned on / off?

Double locking
Interesting conversation. I like mine to fold upon locking, considering the fact that I can't even remember locking the car as I'm walking away from it. *Well, not exactly, but close!) But upon looking back, when I see the mirrors folded, then I know. Yes, I know that if the locking button is pressed twice, the dinky little horn does it "Beep", but since I don't like to announce anything, the mirror position is my reassurance.
I know, I'm old.

Automatic folding mirrors?
I have a 2014 XF 3.0 SC. My mirrors don’t fold in automatically or manually from inside the car.
Is this an option? Or standard equipment? Maybe it’s already been disabled. I would love to fold them in with just a touch of a button. The attendant at the car wash may not be as gentle with them as they should be. I’m just trying to avoid damaging the motor if there is one on my car. I’ve tried holding both mirror selector buttons simultaneously but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
