I have seen something about Wiggs doing that, closely guarded secret no doubt Paul Redding

Yes Wiggs did do it, but it caused to many problems while driving the car that he disabled it after a while.

I'm not sure why you would want this? Can it be done manually on two buttons as a D4 can?Joined the BMWX5 45e group

i did it quite easily by taking an output from the alarm to the power fold relay
when unlocked / locked the car with the fob ..mirrors went in /out .
only issue i had was when the car is set for "drive away locking " the mirrors would fold in when you got to 5mph
turning this off cured the problem .
i live in Manchester ..and drive away locking was more important than folding mirrors
im sure if i looked into it again it would be quite simpleG4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Quite by accident I pressed both mirror select buttons and they folded in
Another press of both and they folded out Stew,

Thread is a bit old to be answering the first question I thought Stew,
