Question Folding Mirrors

I need your help, the folding mirrors only operate below 5mph or when stopped . Is it possible to get them to fold at any speed, because when your in a narrow lane it would be helpful to fold them without coming to a dead stop to let other cars past

You would likely need a module to intercept the i-bus message, very similar to the modules that do this for the video module to keep TV on while the vehicle is in motion. Does such a product exist today? Probably not. But it could probably be done if there were enough demand for it.

On a similar topic, when you push the button to fold them in, are they supposed to remain folded in when you release the button? I think I may have a "mirror malfunction".
