Power Folding Mirrors

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can't activate the folding mirrors with the remote or am I missing something?

I have been through the manual and only see reference to the switch on the drivers door. Seems like such a simple thing they could have programed? Even if they gave you the ability to enable/disable from the settings menu.

I personally like this feature but not if I have to hit that button every time.

Yes, I understand hitting a button in the car is significantly more difficult than hitting a button on the keyfob... but you'll manage.

My Audi A4 is the same as the X5, the activation is inside the car on the mirror adjustment.

It is a tremendous amount of effort, yet I still manage to fold them in...

Cheers,
Keith

Considering you A4 is probably half the price I do appreciate your wisdom

Cheers

I beilive in the 2008 MY if you use the key in the driver door for a few second in the "lock" position, it will close all the windows, then fold in the mirrors,, then close the sunroof. I remember reading that in the manual. When I get home tonight I will try it and let you know. I don't know if that will work on the 2007 MY
