I wonder how much the stealership would charge retrofit... Once my car gets here, thinking about taking it to the dealership in Seoul to see how much they'll charge. But knowing lexus and knowing Korea in regards to import items, I have a feeling they're going to charge well over a grand to supply and install

Damn, didn't know the US models didn't have this.

I can see the European models having it as parking over there in most places are quite limited/small so folding mirrors would help. Not so much in Australia, but we get the Japanese models by default.

They should have an option to fold automatically when doors are locked... oh wells.

all you need is an actuator that's hooked up to the same wires that lock your car or a little computer that tells it exactly when to fold.

None in the US. Note that the OP is from Great Britain. Folding mirrors are fairly common in Europe. Narrow streets, etc..leaving mirrors hanging out means no more mirror. In the US we don't really have that issue...I agree though it would be nice to have them

Wow, I really wish the u.s. models had power mirrors, everytime I park downtown I wish they would automatically fold as I don't always remember. Good luck with the wiring.
