Otherwise you have to fold them in manually once outside the car. I hope this helps you. |

Aftermarket! It is easy as heck to hit the button on your way out. I fold in the outside mirrors on both my cars on the way out. |

Thank you ALL ...
Yes..I have the option through the button..But I always forget doing that..specially at work (tight parking area)...I was thinking if there is a way to automate it when car is switched off (I have seen it in some other cars) Someone told me its a setting that the BMW dealer can do when you bring it to your first service...I thought someone already did it/have tried it.. Anyways..Thanks again all.. Regards |

What is a tech plug? Do you use the dealer tools or an aftermarket tool you can buy?
It is really sad all HUDs are the same yet BMW disabled features depending on model even though you paid for them.

At this time, it seems the 5-series is the only vehicle that behaves this way, and all that was needed was a different wiring harness.

folding mirrors
I think its safer to fold them in w/ key fob lock up button then to fold them w/ ignition. The latter leaves u blind to the rear once u shut off ignition. Dangerous in parallel parked x6 when u open the door w/ cyclists & traffic in the same direction passing.
Would be ideal if u can programme the key fob to fold mirrors & close the hatch ! |
