hello
is it possible to close the auto folding mirors when locking the car via the remote key??

ned78 · May 28th, 2007, 06:46 PM

Yes indeed. Mikeythemini sells a box to do this!

miniXL · May 28th, 2007, 07:03 PM

It is only avaiable for the Pre 2007 models on NewMINIStuff.com.

Hummer2k1 · May 28th, 2007, 07:08 PM

what do you mean on the pre2007 minis? you say its not possible to program this feature at the dealership?
i didnt see anything on newministuff.com

minimad17 · May 28th, 2007, 07:09 PM

yeh its a wicked extra as well as the automatic window and roof closing! im sure its only a matter of time before they are available on the R56s?????

ned78 · May 28th, 2007, 07:13 PM

Oops, I thought this was an R50 thread, my bad!

so, it s not possible as you say. i ll have to wait. that s very annoting because, i paid for the autofolding mirors extra and i always forget to close the mirors when closing the car and i have to go back all the time to close them.... and in Paris, there s lot of narrow streets, and i dont want a bad surprise when coming back to my mini.

minimad17 · May 28th, 2007, 07:20 PM

i wouldnt rule it out yet though.....the box from the old one might be compatible with the new 1s ......have to check and confirm with mikey though! let us know and good luck!

Hummer2k1 · May 28th, 2007, 07:25 PM

thanks a lot
i ll see my dealer next week i guess to get my definitive ID plates, i ll ask him about it and then i ll keep you posted too

miniXL · May 28th, 2007, 09:19 PM

I phoned Mikey up to see if he would be able to do this with my R56 (as he did with my R53) and he said that they attempted it on a R56 but could not get it wot work.

The auto closing is not a programmable feature by your dealer.

I find the new location in the door assist you in remembering to close them. It becomes second nature after awhile.

For those of you with the earlier MINI models here is the link:

on a side note - the bmw 1 series they fold from the remote

afriedrich · May 29th, 2007, 08:37 PM

He, I would be very much interested in the folding mirrors and also auto-close option, that is for an keyless entry R56 CopperS
So if Mikey sells a box that does this I am all in
