Auto folding mirrors
May be a dumb question but can the dealership/service make it to where the mirrors fold in when you lock the car? I bought a base off the lot and didn’t realize it didn’t have folding mirrors (crazy me assumed that was standard these days). Is that something that can only be done at the factory? Thanks!

Said in my best Independence Day voice: That's not entirely true. Kufatec has a conversion kit about ready but need a vehicle in Germany for a test install.

I do not know if it would void the whole warranty? Probably Porsche would not cover anything related to the mirror installation. On other German cars it is not that complicated to retrofit folding mirrors. BMW, Audi and VW all have kits available to do this. I am not sure why it is so difficult to do this with Porsche, and so expensive. It is probably not worth the cost and effort just to have folding mirrors.

I totally sympathize with you. I ordered my car and didn’t realize that the “memory package” was required to have auto-folding mirrors. It also is required to have the mirrors tilt down when you are in reverse. Amazing a car at this price doesn’t include something so basic.
I have 4-way seats (No Memory)
Maybe you meant the Premium package? - this is the package that includes the folding mirrors. With just the Premium package, you can enable the mirrors to fold when the doors are locked/unlocked.
You are correct about needing the memory package for the mirrors to tilt down though.

Thinking that's book rate. Remove door cards, remove mirror, swap mirror housing and switch, reassemble. 2 hours on door 1, 1 hour on door 2, 5 min flash, 5 min smiling while playing with new folding mirrors.

Mirror replacement is easy. Pulling the drivers door panel was easy. Pulling the Switch Assy from the armrest was a royal pain to figure out. If you choose this route, you will most likely need to also buy a drivers convenience module and will definitely require Coding.
