Auto-folding mirrors

Has anyone found a way to program the mirrors on our 958's to fold automatically like most other luxury brands do? I came from Audi and totally miss the auto-fold mirrors. I've heard they are capable in other markets but not the US so I'm wondering if anybody's figured a way to program it

That's just going to wear out the motors and they don't stick out that far. I'd only use them when parked really tight and you need them folded in rather than every time.

I dont care about "wearing out the motor." One could say not exercising the motor could cause it to lock up as well as it could seize in place from lack of use. I think it would be good practice to fold them at your leisure..once in a while..if so inclined. I want my Cayenne the way I want it- I cant worry about every single part wearing out- I want those things folded when I want them folded and now I know how to do it thanks to this thread. When I looked at my old audi from a distance and the mirrors were folded, I knew it was locked...now I can get the same visual reference by holding the lock button a little more. But I know mirrors/motors on Porsches are $$$$ so I get it when you say not wanting to wear it out.

It was dark enough this morning due to the clouds.
Side note, I went to unlock the Cayenne this morning and saw the folded mirrors. When I hit unlock I noticed there are "welcome" lights that illuminated below the mirrors. I never noticed that when unfolded. Not sure if they come on when folded/unfolded but probably both as long as its dark enough out.
Looks like when you use the lock button to fold and lock, they return automatically once you get going. Good stuff

Now, as to other kinds of modules, like the SmartTop, that might not have the same problems, but it's nowhere near as cheap as the aliexpress units. I have one in my Targa for the top. I seem to recall it had other features, which might have included mirrors. But mine doesn't have the retracting mirrors, so I've never tried it.
