Hi All

Is it possible to have the mirrors set or modified to automatically fold when engine is stopped and open when car is started instead of using the switch?

What if your car had this setting and when you reset (disconnect battery) the car, it's gone? I had it on my japanese Fuga 370GT... still wondering how to get it back.

...this is a funny story....I never knew my car had the folding mirror feature, somehow I missed it while reading the user 's manual cover to cover as I always do for a new car I buy. Well, yesterday I was messing with my vent mounted phone holder and the thing came tumbling down on the door armrest. I heard the motor noise as it hit the switch but couldn't figure out what made the noise. I was driving at the time and a minute or so later I realized my mirrors were folded as I tried to do a lane change. I have previously folded them manually while parking in a garage, all I can say is :facepalm:

Good thing you didn't break them that one time doing it manually...can't imagine that's good for an power folding mirror? I'd have a conniption if something did that to my car lol. :rotflmao

I think the gear or whatever it's called that engages the mirror is made to be forced into releasing when pushed. Otherwise I would have messed it up by now. Trust me I have done it more than once. ;)
