U.S. cars do not have the auto fold mirrors option, something to do with a safety issue - darn gov't regulators!

The sound you hear is the auxillary SMG pump. see What's this Noise??

Dang, really?? I want my mirrors to fold up when I park!!! That really sucks. I guess there is nothing the dealer can program for it to work that way, or any hacks we can do ourselves lol??

Sat down with my tech with the car hooked up and we reviewed every option that was accessable on progman, no such mirror option here in the U.S. -
