Default Power Folding Mirrors

Alright so I'm new to the Audi world. I just picked up the 2012 Prestige that I posted about earlier and I've been adapting to the German car (I hate the tiny cupholders, my only gripe). But the one thing driving me nuts... is only the drivers side mirror is power folding. Also, it only folds when locked. I'm assuming the latter is a setting or the way it's supposed to work.

Do I need to look into getting this fixed? Or is there a way to fold both? Am I crazy?

In the MMI, I have mine set so both fold in when I turn the car off.

Hoof... Valid point.

So I've found the setting...it just says "fold mirrors", but nothing individual...which has me scared. I'm hoping I didn't but it with a known issue.

Was it already set? If not, just try it!

It was on, I've deselected, reselected. I've gone back and forth. Only one mirror will wink at me. I'll call Audi tomorrow I suppose :/

Was it a CPO purchase? If so, you're probably covered.

It could just be a loose connector, too.
