My understanding [based on what I read from another member who went thru this process] is that module needed to be replaced. It is possible I may have been misinformed.
Blastiwi, since you've gone thru this process without having to replace the module, then I stand corrected.

Just like the OP no autofold before moving to the M5 mirrors ... 'cuz my car is pre-LCI same as the OP ... that's why I mentioned in my post that after coding I can do autofold from keyfob ...

Yes, standard non-M5 pre-LCI mirror that has folding motor only available in Europe.
AFAIK ... back in pre-LCI time all of M5 is the only one that has folding ability in the US ... easy to tell since their driver side window control switch has folding button next to the sideview mirror selector switch (similar to LCI except the button more square-ish as oppose to round-ish shape).

NP go ahead PM away ... it's just enabling the autofold ability via keyfob using coding so no actual hardware mod done to the mirror, car and/or wiring.
I did swap out my driver side window control switch panel w/ M5 version (another member sold it here) so now I have OEM folding button on the inside too.
