executive matchup
i test drove a 2010 RX450h over the weekend, and it came with auto folding mirrors. i got to the demo, and disarmed the alarm. the mirrors folded open. hit the arm button, the mirrors folded close. i had fun for 20 seconds!

Form what I know I have a diagram of this being done on a Audi a4 with the power foldin mirrors. Should not be hard to do as it should be the same electrical. I'll put I up soon

can this or cant this be programmed by the dealer? I hate the fact that I gotta manually do this and I hate that you must have the car in accessory mode to accomplish this. many times i shut the car off and am opening the door and Im like - "OH Crap, I forgot to fold the mirrors"

ok i just read the other posts lol... If i get some time ill figure out what wires are need and how to wire up the relays or a pulse box.
I just thought to my self what gets used after the car shuts off..... the Tele steering wheel moves out of the way so i should be able to use this source since they move at about the same speed. this will make it a simple wire to wire connection.

sorry to rehash the dead but relays don't store energy and to me the sensible mod here would be to add the relay as suggested but connect it to the parking break light or the parking pulse that unlocks the doors.
It's very funny to me that with all the "auto" functions the GS has (steering wheel on start, backup camera - tilting mirrors - sunshade on reverse, door locks on park, etc...) they wouldn't have a auto folding option... who wants to have to fold their mirror in every time they park on a shady street? i really think this was an oversight and/or eff up that they left "as is" to save face.
And yes to me this feature is very very important but would also like a way for it to be disabled.

the pulse from the lock and unlock would also work.
POWER LOCK = lt. green-power- window master switch in door - Notes: Meter this wire while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder.
POWER UNLOCK = pink (double pulse)-power window master switch in door - Notes: Meter this wire while turning the key in the driver door key cylinder.

i used to fold my mirrors but then i realized when folded, theres nothing to protect my door from getting dings when other cars open there doors too far. so now when i park i position my car for my mirrors to take the hit. i hate dings.

Couldn't you just take power from the window relay since those stay powered for a little while after you shut down or until you open a door? And they seem to stay powered since you can roll down from the remote.
