[mtarkurner8600]

Wing mirror stay out when locking T6.1.
In the system the box is checked for folding in when locking door, but the Mirror stay out.
I have unchecked and rechecked the box with no success.
Using the switch on the drivers door they fold in and out.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this with out returning to the dealer.

Indeed. Has been discussed before that the function doesn't work. Same here. Maybe it will get sorted with a software update sometime, but I wouldn't hold your breath! Your options are to use the dial on the door to fold them in, or a press and hold on the key button lock will fold them too.

Please shoot me down if I sound patronising it is certainly not intended but I just want to eliminate the easy ‘trys’……one button push on button fob locks the van and mirrors won’t fold. But if you press and hold the same button instead the mirrors may well fold in…..as I said you may well have done this already but it was not obvious when I got my T6.1 in July……

I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your prompt reply.

This is exactly as @Tricky74 says. You have to long press for the mirrors to fold in. The reasoning behind this is coding from the transporter roots where if you’re a delivery driver you don’t want to wear out the motors locking the van every 5 minutes. The way to fix this is with a Carista plugged into the OBD Port and recode the system to fold on first locking with the app. Which is what I did.

While you’re in there you can also switch off the endless door open bing bongs by switching that off too!

@mtarkurner8600

Yup, as @Tricky74 and @dspuk said
That’s how mine works

 

[mtarkurner8600]

Holding the lock button on the key just worked for me. Very happy.
Thank you all so much for all your suggestions.

Mega Happy

I have never seen this,option in the control box but you can change behavior with Carista obd2 tool. I have done it on my ocean. I find holding the key pressed takes too long and this way I know i did not forget to close the doors from a distance.

Maybe good moment to add : And double click closes the car without activating the alarm.

Hi Dspuk. When you change this using Carista as described, do the wing mirrors still only fold out when you start the van as opposed to merely unlocking it? I think the mirrors folding on a short button press would be great but I’d still only want them folding back out when I start the van. Cheers.

Yup - you can only get them to fold in on single key press, still has to have the key in for fold out.

Great, thanks. I’ll give that a go.

Mine needs a long press of the lock button to bring the mirrors in.

Resurrecting this older thread but long press on the "Lock" button is no longer folding the mirrors...

Historically they folded with the long press and there was an additional flash of the indicator lights.

Now nothing... Wonder if it coincided with a Software Update I did a few days ago.

In the Settings, mirrors are set to auto-fold.

Worth getting a Carista and checking the settings.

mine are still folding after recent system update. But I configured with carista autofolding mirrors on locking car .

You can change a setting to fold them in when you lock the van (without doing a long press) if you want. You’ll need a Carista dongle though.

thanks for the info - will look into that

Problem solved. Also affected was a failure of drivers window to open with the second "one touch" button press.

Something needed resetting and there's a mention in the manual.

Needed to pull up the window button onto the second position, hold for several seconds and then release. Do the same again.

Window then worked and also the mirrors now refold with a long press of the lock key fob button.
