Thats true. Had I known that before I would never have bought the switch panel. I normally want to fold my mirrors only when I am outside the car and thats when I have the key in my hand. Also with the key fob the moment you unlock the car the mirrors unfold. So you can never drive with the mirrors folded.

Now I just need to get some folding mirrors with the same wiring as my car.

BLooD, since I couldn't plan a journey to see your other bits we discussed earlier, I thought it will be quicker to take a plunge and bought myself a nice K+DCAN cable (everyone recommended that) and it works with my car. I have managed to change few options on my car successfully and yes it works 
I want passenger side auto-dip so reading everywhere on the forum looks like SA430 needs to go in VO, can I put SA430 in my car which doesn't have auto-folding mechanism, would this make mirror auto-dip upon reverse? If yes then can what all modules will need this VO, CAS and LMA? or just CAS?

SA430 EXT: mirrors folding / dimming has nothing to do with the passenger mirror curb function. I can not remember what year your car is but if it`s from sept/2005 then look in the KGM modul for ASP_BORDSTEIN.
If it`s before sept/2005 then look in TMFT and TBFT for KERBING, i have not had any success getting it to work on earlier cars. VO adaptations must be done in both the CAS and LMA.
