Any chance of installing software to auto-fold the Sideview mirrors when park is selected?

No. But you can install a device that will do it. Or use the TazerDT's live feature.

Seems like a lot of effort vs pushing the mirror fold button.
Where is the button, there is a bunch of stuff I am still figuring out. I did not get the autofold option but the mirror will autofold on park and point the light down at night, with the tazer. If there was another way to make them fold, get rid of the tazer and not need the purchase huge towing mirrors. Thanks

No Sh@t. Mahalo nui loa. There may be a tazer, on the buy and sell forum soon.
I am still trying to figure out why when I open the gate at night and the bed lights don't go out unless I depress the bed light button on the light switch that is auto. A lot to learn, thanks again. Later

Jimmy told me the same. He was like, Umm you can just push the button man. LOL I was trying to do it with AlfaOBD which will NOT do it..


Taser can do it or a company called Navik's has a box you connect that will do it.

The bed lights are on a timer. I think the shut off time is adjustable but I believe the default setting is 30 seconds.

I have a tazer to do mine automatically - but I turn this off in the winter. The way these are designed, they hold snow/ice and with these being run on plastic gears, I don’t want to take the chance

The annoying thing with this is the remote start flips them open……
So when you park, they fold in, makes it easier to get out and way from the vehicle in my driveway. But in cooler mornings, I get an obstacle if Iremote start it.

I still can't get my Tazer to auto fold my mirrors in. Does anyone have a 2021 that has gotten it to work? Thanks.

Never thought about the cold weather affecting them. Thanks for the heads up.

That lip. Snow/ice builds up, and the unfolding action doesn’t always agree with it.

If you remote start, they auto unfold, and that’s before you’ve had a chance to clear those spots.

Howzit Howie, I did. Did you ever update the software? When we bought they came loaded with a lower rev, and there was beta sw now there is a new rev that’s easier to upload. Laters, Charles

Wassup Charles. Figured it out. Apparently I didn’t real the manual well enough and didn’t go into the live menu with the engine on to turn on the option lol. Updated to 18.0.9 and all is good. Now trying to figure out whether I want amber DRLs or regular white. *first world problems* lol
