Mirrors not folding

Hi chaps,

So I have a 2016 FR 1.4 150 with convenience.

My mirrors have all of a sudden stopped folding when I lock the car. I can still fold them with the little nob inside, that all works fine but when I try do it with the key they just don't fold.

I only noticed when I dead-locked the car and saw that the lights didn't do the second little flash to confirm the mirrors had folded.

Has anyone else experienced this, if so how did you remedy it?

Ta :)

To fold you hold the lock button on the key right?

Yep and then the car confirms it's folded the mirrors (and closed the windows if they were open) with an extra indicator flash.

All of which it's stopped doing!

Check if it is the key battery. Might be ok for initial push to lock but fades before long push is registered.
Try your spare key or swap better.

This happened to me yesterday due to frost on the window I held the switch too long. Is what I did to remedy this was
Engine on
Each window I put down one by one and counted to 5 after each window was down(still pressing switch) then I did them all up again holding for 5 seconds each one by one.

Might be over kill and I done it wrong or too long for an easy method but this worked for me and the key folding mirror feature now works again.

How can you get the car to auto fold the mirrors when it's locked and unlocked without having to hold the button? I find it a bit frustrating having to do it.

Anyone got the VCDS settings to allow this please?

Select 09 (Central Elect)

Select 16 (Authorization)

Enter Unlock Code 31347

Select 10 (Adaptation)

Choose (22) Access Control 2 Radio(Funk) Spiegelanklappung Mode.
(I have a feeling when I did mine it wasn't under (22) I think I had to scroll
down to find the description under a different number).

Change options as below,

Stored value = by convenience operation via remote control key.

New value = by look?(think this is meant to say lock) command via remote control key.

Then Do it!

How are you deadlocking the car?
I am sure it deadlocks as standard. I've seen many people undoing deadlocking believing they were actually deadlocking.

PS
Does the little nob for the wing mirror need to be in a particular position?

So as far as I'm aware, deadlocking is when you press the button a second time and it disables the door handles from within the car or something, but in doing so it also folds the mirrors... well it used to...

I don't think the nob has to be in a particular position however I have tried it in all positions!
