Power folding mirrors

Is it true the Canadian models all have power folding mirrors standard? I heard that somewhere. Im wondering if its plug and play.

Yes they fold. Not 100% sure about C250 but C350 and C63 do.

Not sure about fitment since you would need additional switches and perhaps reprogramming of the computer.

I have a fully loaded c250 coupe (MBUSA spec) and don't have power folding mirrors... SMH

At least I get the tilting mirrors in reverse that my 2009 and 2011 didn't get. Maybe with the w205 we will be treated as "equals". The Canadians seem to get everything, they even get an option of c350 4matic on the sedans since the w204's introduction. However, I must admit that the MBUSA vehicles are QUITE a bit cheaper than Canadian spec models, even when the currency discrepancy is taken into account.

How do you enable the tilting mirror? Do you need a specific package?

I don't think you need a specific package in MBUSA c-class coupes. You put the car in reverse, adjust the passenger side mirror to where you want it to go when reversing, press the "M" memory button. Then, it will remember that position in reverse and always go to that when in reverse, then after back in drive and start to move, it will revert back to your stored position, or wherever it was before.

you have to leave the mirror control set on the passenger side mirror for it to work. If you leave it on the driver side no dice!

No, to have it fold automatically you have to go into the settings and tell it to do that. Otherwise, you have to press the button to fold them.

In Canada, MBs are a lot more expensive than US. Base C250 coupe is $39K and base C350 coupe is $49K.

On the subject of folding mirrors, I personally do not like them. The car looks strange with the mirrors folded.
