Garage mode etc
Does anyone know how to turn off the mirrors folding when you park and lock? I'd rather have my mirrors open (overnight especially). I continue to have problems with the mirrors getting iced overnight during winter storms to the point where they are unable to open in the morning so I'm forced to pick and chop the ice away which today for the first time has resulted in some minor scuffing / scratches on gloss black of the mirror mount. I looked in the manual and didn't see any mention of how to adjust this mode which I believe they called garage mode. There was also a mention of an option called mirror dip, which said go to a certain area of the settings / options menu where I did not see the option at all in my pivi pro. So maybe I'm missing some options? Not sure what's up with that.
Here is where to find the Mirror Dip settings.MIRROR DIP WHEN REVERSING

Ahh I see now.

The easiest solution is to simply use snow and ice mirror covers from a company of your choice. See example below:

Your local retailer (or a well equipped LR specialist) should be able to disable the mirror fold function through their diagnostics equipment. However, once it's done you would need to return to the retailer to undo this modification.

Thank you for the information and suggestions. If I do have it disabled does it disable it for just auto-fold but still allow manual? I'd still like to be able to control it manually using the press of both buttons. I sometimes manually fold them using that method when going through the car wash. There are many options that can be toggled on and off in pivi pro, I'm not sure why this can't be too. Maybe someday. I'm not going to hang covers over them on a regular basis, it's very difficult to tell when we're going to get substantial icing like that and hanging covers over it every night just seems like overkill for something that IMO should definitely be able to toggle on and off. Audi has kept manual switches for mirror heaters and mirror folding etc and IMO that is the way to go. Automatic is good in theory and many times in practice but there are those scenarios where it becomes a short-coming especially when there's no easy opt-out.
