On my 2019 Big Horn I have the power folding mirrors. I was wondering if it's possible to make them fold automatically when you turn off the truck.
 
I have this setup with the TazerDT

My only issue is remote start unfolds them.
So say you back into a tight spot, turn off the truck and the mirrors fold in giving you a bit more space to get by, and so far works as everyone would prefer. Remote start unfolds them, and by the time you want to get in, they are in the way.

Easily solved. Park further away :)
 
Other issue is snow/ice buildup. When folded in, there’s a spot where snow/I e accumulates and interferes with mirrors unfolding. Gears are well documented to be subpar, and I suspect this could cause issues.
I disable the auto fold for winter.

Isn't AlfaOBD able to do this as well? You just need to make it think it has the proper sales code. That way you're not voiding your ECM with the Tazer.

When you get in, push the button. They fold again.

No, alfaOBD can't enable this option. It's one of the "live" functions with the TazerDT that requires that TazerDT to be plugged in.

And technically, even modifying settings using alfaOBD can be cause for voiding the warranty as you are still bypassing the security module and changing settings.
 
Look up Navik as well. They sell a module for auto folding when locking the truck
