the cluster ALONE will not make your mirrors autofold even if you replaced to a newer cluster. If you have a 02, it never autofolded so why do you say it autofolded?

My 02 s430 does not have the auto fold. I have to push a button to fold.

We seem to have some problem with what is meant by "autofold." In most model years the mirrors will fold in response to the press of a button that is among the rest of the mirror controls on the driver's door.

In other years, there is an additional option programmable through the MFD (instrument cluster menus) that can be set to fold the mirrors when the car is locked, without pressing the button. It was not a feature in all model years.

what i was trying to say was, the cluster can control that not a computer somewhere else in the car, meaning like the cluster was just a puppet that did nothing just told you info

The thread starter did state "my mirrors did fold when LOCKED" which I assumed meant with the keyfob. Unless the front SAM module was replaced with the instrument cluster and perhaps the door control modules, the mirrors on a 02 would not autofold.
