Default auto folding mirrors

Probably a dumb question, is there a hack to change the auto fold from when the ignition is turned off to when the car is locked? My wifes GS mirrors fold in when the doors are locked and it is a easy way to know when the doors are locked. Yes I am that lazy.

■Side mirror operating conditions
The ignition switch must be turned to ACC or ON.
■When the mirrors are fogged up
Turn on the mirror heaters to defog the mirrors. (P.170)
■Ignition switch integrated automatic operation
If the AUTO indicator light is on, the mirrors are in automatic operation mode.
•If the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position, the rear view mirrors are automatically extended and folded, if the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.

Adjust the mirror angle using the switch.

1. Select the mirror to adjust.
(L : left or R : right)
2. Adjust the mirror up, down, in or out using the switch.

Folding and extending the side mirrors

1. Folds the mirror.
2. Extends the mirror.
3. Automatic
If the switch is in the neutral position, the side mirrors are set to automatic operation, and the indicator light comes on.
■Adjusting the side mirrors downward when reversing
Step 1 Put the transmission selector lever in the “R” position.
Step 2 Move the mirror switch to the “L” or “R” position.
The mirrors will return to their previous position if one of the following occurs:
•The selector lever is moved to a position other than “R”.
•The mirror switch is moved to the neutral position.
•The ignition switch is set to ACC.

@infojunky , here is a great thread that talks about your issue, and also includes a link to the Lexus Custom Settings accessible by the dealer. Unfortunately, it looks like it is not an adjustable feature except for auto/manual like mentioned by 430SLowner..

Thanks,
I was looking to see if there was a easy way to change from the "signal to close" from the "ignition being turned off" to the "door locking via remote".
