Default bmw e60 auto mirrors folding

Hello, I have an E60 and I see the video
which mean that is possible to close automatically the mirrors with the key.
But I can't find the way to do this.

Is it possible to do it by coding, and how to do it?

thank's a lot.

Sure it is possible to auto fold mirrors with key fob, but you have to have auto folding mirrors in the first place (not all E60's have them). If you do not have the little button next to the mirror selector switch on your arm rest then you do not have folding mirrors. It might help to post what year your car is and even better the build date (located on the sticker on the driver's door jam)

I believe all you need is coding.

Do a search for NCSexpert (and/or coding) in this forum the program at least you'll need (among others) plus you'll need hardware which is the hook up cable and it's a steep learning curve and slight mistake will render you damage your car ECU module(s).

bmwcoding.com also maybe a good start but knowledge may come for a price there.

I have this coded on my car along with a bunch of other stuff. When i close my door and press lock the mirros fold in. When i unlock my car with the key fob the mirrors fold out. I also have the digital MPH, window roll up with long press lock and roll down with long press lock on the key fob, AE 100% bright all the time etc... I had coding done by a guy on the forums.
