Electric folding side mirrors

Mine has a button you press left and right. Pushing it one way makes them fold in automatically via a motor and pushing the other way makes them fold out automatically via a motor, no manual folding them. I thought all models had this irregardless of options(?)
Problem is you have to manually push the button each time, and that is if you remember to actually do it. I had hoped, like the OP wants, infiniti would have made an auto setting in the same button where they fold in when you turn the car off and fold out once you start again.

I think Infiniti should have built that into the vehicle since many other luxury cars have it. Low cost item. Just like the new Nissan Rogue. They added the nice turn signal lights to the mirrors but you still have to manually push them to tuck them when parking in tight spaces. Penny wise, pound foolish IMO.
I just ordered a set of side mirror covers with led turn signal lights. Can't wait to get it, Ill post pics when I do the mod. The auto power folding mirror is another thing I'm looking into. Anybody try to do that yet or know of a plug and play kit for the QX60?

Seems like something that Infiniti should have done with heir cars already. It wouldn't be hard to do. It also isn't a huge deal though. It is the small stuff that makes a luxury car better than a mainstream car.

This continues to remain something that irks me about this vehicle. No reason there shouldn't have been a mode where when you lock the car via the remote or the button in the door handles it folds em' in and when you unlock it they fold back out.
Seriously Infiniti, motorizing these mirrors and not having an auto mode was l.a.m.e.

Agree. one other thing is annoying me so much is the side view mirrors did not have auto tinting like the rear view mirror

I just bought a 2019 QX60, coming from a Lexus RX 350. While I love the car, there are things I miss from the Lexus, and the folding mirrors upon lock are near the top of the list. It does feel inexcusable at this price point.

I had the 2014 Lexus RX 350 which has mirrors that fold in and out with ignition. I made the false assumption that the QX60 WOULD HAVE THEM AT$70,000. Lesson learned. The stereo in the RX sounds better too. I'm fact, ride, acceleration, handling are also better, yet that car is six years older!

My 2014 QX60 has electric folding mirrors. If you paid $70K, you should have all the options. You sure you don't have a mirror switch on your drivers door panel? Also, do you have the Bose 15 speaker sound system with CenterPoint? Sounds like you should, and on the high end system the source matters, so don't listen to XM or stream thru Bluetooth, both have a low bitrate. Use something like Spotify, with the playback set to very high (high bitrate, no compression loss), and use the USB wired connection.
