Fold mirrors when parking

gregnm369 · 12-09-2012, 10:39 PM

Coding is not my area of expertise, so please pardon if this question is a repost. Is it possible to code the mirrors to fold in when the car is put into park?

I am running a 2008 E93 335i.

Thanks!

no. unless some hardware hacking is done.

Edit: what hardware would prevent this? I would assume it would be no harder than making windows roll up.

there is no existing coding option for this type of functionality. the only available option is for folding in via key fob.

to enable anything else like what you want or fold in when engine is off, there needs to be additional wiring with relays tapped to the correct points within the car as well as to the mirrors to cause them to fold/unfold.

here's how it had been done on a 5 series http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/topic/59398-...-as-requested/
