I have the electrical folding mirrors on my car and I am gonna ask the dealer to change the settings in the car so when I close it the mirrors will fold in automatically.

Since the lights in the mirror only shine at the doors when I have to fold them in with the button I want this activated.

I've read several post about this possibility in the US. Are there any european members that have this option activated???

I know it can be done... But you have to press and hold the lock button until they fold...
Will get this activated in October.

Yep... wood, window switch surroundings, folding of mirrors via remote key activation, digital TV, maybe chip tuning if then available, maybe software update for MP3 and DVD watching if then available, TVmodule what allows watching while in motion if then available, and windows.

You probably know already.
Getting the folding mirrors by remote does not require an I-Drive software update. Its part of the Car Memory function. I had mine turned on months before I had my version 12 upgrade. It won't take that long to activate if the technicians know how to do it.
