Fold Mirrors on Lock/Unlock
Make your side mirrors automatically fold when you lock the car and unfold when you unlock — a factory feature on some trim levels that can be enabled via coding on any car with electric mirrors.
1 Prerequisites
Hardware required: Your car must have electric folding mirrors (the motor is in the mirror housing). This coding does NOT work on manually-folded mirrors — the motor must physically be present. Check by holding the mirror fold button on your door switch panel.
- Electric folding mirrors (hardware must be present)
- BimmerCode app with Expert Mode
- Compatible OBD2 adapter
2 Which Module — F or G?
