I have to say, I really am happy I have the Powered Folding Mirrors. Initially, I thought it was a novel, unnecessary option. However, I now have to say I very much appreciate this option.

Admiitedly, I simply cannot remember the more mundane things I do everyday without thinking. One of those items is remembering to set "Lucy's" alarm.

Now all I have to do is glance at her & if her mirrors are up, I know she's armed. Peace of Mind, priceless.

The exterior light doesnt hurt either.

I'm totally with you and love my 'folders'... However there are 2 drawbacks to the folding mirrors I have discovered ;
1) it's also easy for others to see when you have forgotten to lock the car
2) the wing mirrors are pretty much the same width as the rear arches on the '4' so folding them in 'saves the glass but not the ***'
3) you have to unlock the car and put the key in the engine to take a decent photo
4) they're not the sports design mirrors (drool)
4) they delete any ability to count..

One thing I noticed the other day - there is only one part number for folding mirrors on the 991. I am wondering if we can simply add the switch and programming to add this feature on our cars if we don't have the power option?

They also are great for my narrow garage. When They're folded it's easier to walk past car.

I also recently folded them an SUV pulled up behind me at a light with its high beams on

Cheekymonkey, there are three kinds of people, those that can count and those that can't.

I ordered mine for the lights under it.

Mostly yes, but if you lock and then unlock without turning the key in the ignition then no. The car will stay unlocked with the mirrors up.
We do this when we store the car for the winter and keep the car unlocked.

OP - you don't really leave that radar detector on your windshield like that when you park the car, do you? That's just asking for trouble...

Zmoney3982

Yeah get that detector hard wired in! I did, but I hate wires and all that extra stuff inside the car. I went with the sport design mirrors over the power folding

gusp

I'd like to know, too. And also ball park cost? (cost to DIY vs. dealer install)

I will take out detector if I am out on the town...& it is hard wired.

If you don't have power folding mirrors, does the right side mirror still dip when you shift into reverse?

Duke I

Yes, unless deselected in the pcm.

Cheekymonkeyman

This feature is only enabled with memory function.... Power folding mirrors alone will not give you the tilt in reverse... I know

THPorsche

I thought most modern car can activate the tilt by "selecting" the passenger side mirror.
