Hi. Does anyone know which wire makes the mirror fold in and out? Someone has hit my mirror when parked now the mirror won't stay in the correct place it just folds all he way out. I've noticed if I fold it in then back out and stop it where it needs to be it will stay but everytime I start the car it moves out slightly more and more. If I can get it to stay then cut the folding wire until I source a new one for now I just need to know which wire is which.
Thanks for any help.

I think I would try changing the option to not save the settings based on the key. It may be trying to adjust to your key preference every start. If you turn that off it may stay where you want it until you can get repaired.

I think the bracket that hold the mirror in place has been broken and that now the mirror keeps on moving. It could stop at where it should previously is due to the bracket which is now gone. You have to fix this bracket with no other option. The mirror is controlled by 1 wire only (LINBUS) which received command from KGM.
Your best option now is to code the car to disable comfort access option for mirror folding in/out everytime you lock/unlock the car
