Anyone with power folding side mirrors?
If you have power folding side mirrors, do you have an option to set the mirrors to fold after shutting off the car, and unfold when starting it?
I know the newer S-class has this option, but I can't find mention of it in the marketing materials.
(My folding mirrors don't have the setting so I was hoping to find out if I should continue looking in the Star Diag for actuations.)

Non-power folding mirrors can fold. You just push them. There is a heavy duty spring that keeps them in the proper position. They cannot rest in the "folded" position (although some other Mercedes, such as the W208 CLK, will remain in the folded position).

im not sure what mb you have, but no US E-class has the folding mirrors that are powered. on the S and others, i believe it folds when you lock the car, and they unfold when you unlock the car

Euro option
Option Code 500 in Europe are the electric folding mirrors. I don't know how they work (button or auto), but they are availlable. I have the German and UK brochures and they are available in both countries. As a matte of fact, they are standard on Avantgarde and Elegance models.

It is correct that they come as standard on Elegance and Avantgarde models in the UK. There is a switch next to the mirror adjustment buttons that allows you to fold them on demand. They also can be automatically set to fold when locking and unfold when unlocking the doors.
