When locking the car from the app, it doesn't also fold the mirrors like it does from the key.

Is this 'normal' ?

Yes it is.

Currently mirrors only fold in when you use the key fob. Note also that if you unlock the car and then don't open any door, boot or frunk within 45 secs the car will automatically lock BUT the mirrors don't fold either (don't ask!).

So ok. It's a 'feature'

Thanks.

That is not totally accurate, at least on my car:
  • If you depress the trunk button with the key symbol, the mirrors retract and the car locks.
  • If you use the door handle finger sensor, the mirrors retract and the car locks.
Yes - that's correct - the context was with the Connect App for remote locking unless you mean the trunk button on the app?

Aside from this the app is useless (too slow) for this to be any use / value and rendered utterly useless when below ground.

Are you a Taycan-driving mole?

? - only when the going gets tough!

I just find some of the tech ill considered and poorly thought out. Every mole has its day!
