Default Question on Power Mirrors

Is there an automatic setting so they sense, for example, the frame around the garage door and automatically retract?

Does anyone else find the **** a pain to turn all the way down from 12 to 6 to retract the mirrors? On our BMW, there is a one touch button and it is so much easier to put them up and down.

Default No, just that wonderful botton

Also I do not know why Audi did not give the option to set them to automatically fold when you turn the engine off.

The mirror motor might wear out, costing a lot of $$$ (since Audi would need to cover it)

With other makes like Lexus, you can have the mirrors retract and deploy automatically when you stop and start the car.

The auto-fold option is available - I had to disable it in mine when we got it. It might be part of a package (electric memory seats or similar)

European Spec cars get it as an option, whereas US spec don't. Maybe the ppl here might not like it

Default That's the point. Lexus cares about customer service. Audi doesn't. At least, that's what I've heard

We've never been in the position yet to criticize Audi. The Q7 is a great car. Much better then the rest, but the whole Lexus experience is just superior, even though their cars are boring.

Lexus bends over backwards to satisfy their customers. Audi wouldn't care.
