Folding Mirrors
On Friday (and for the previous 6 months) my mirrors would fold in when I locked the car. Today, locked the car multiple times and the mirrors never folded in. Zero chance of someone changing the settings. Only thing I can think of is an OTA update that changed the settings??? Thoughts??? Plan on checking the settings tomorrow and will update.

I have it for just over one year and during this time, same thing as yours happened twice. First time I scratched my head a bit just like you. There was neither a manual setting change nor an OTA update for sure.
It turns out it is just a software glitch. When the system is booted up, not everything is loaded properly.
So, the simple fix is:- go into Settings and then enable it again (as you will find it disabled).
No sweat, the second time!

Checked the settings, they had been reset by the car. Re-selected the mirrors and they are working again. Makes me wonder if the car will reset something more important without my knowledge or consent?

I think it may happen when the car communicates periodically with MercedesMe Connect. I've had a few small things I had to reset periodically also.

It appears the latest MB software release which contained the "graphical goodies" disabled the folding mirrors by accident. Just need to reset it. The same software release appears to be fiddling with the passenger side hyperscreen display as well.
Hopefully the next release will be less problematic.
