Am driving my recently delivered '23 4S on day 5, today. Quick question. Understand how to fold exterior mirrors by using the drivers side door controls. Wondering if its possible to program them to retract/fold in when locking the car with the remote. Struggling to find that option if available. Thanks in advance for a "newbie" question. Won't be the last, I assure you!

My door mirrors retract on locking with the key. They don’t when I lock the car with my phone app.

I think that there’s a ‘lock settings’ page in vehicle settings where you can determine what happens when you lock the car.Fold door mirrors should be in there

No option from the app to fold mirrors and seems to bypass the setting in the PCM. Just another quirk / software bug.

Same happens if you unlock the car then don't open any door / trunk / frunk. The car auto locks within 45s but mirrors remain extended.

Love the auto folding mirrors when lock feature. It would also be nice if mirrors folded at certain locations akin to the smart lift function. I have a tight garage I park in at home and I manually press the folding mirror button when I pull up to my house. I always worry that I’m going to forget one day and trash my mirrors.

I’ve attached a couple of photos that show the options in the PCM. None of mine are greyed out.

What app are you using, I cannot find the function in "my porsche" app to open or lock my car. the only useful thing i have found in the app is the pre cool / pre heat function. What other cool things am i missing guys?

My Porsche App (the only one you should be using). Key fob icon opposite preheat.

Useless feature and slow to operate.

so odd. My app does not have that . I wonder if this is a European thing? Or maybe I need to pay like 2 K for that app function?

That is odd indeed. Do you have Comfort Opening (an option)?

Try updating or reinstall the app.

Worked like a charm, thanks for the quick and accurate response! Can't believe I couldn't work it out myself.
