Hi all,
I'm having an intermittent but annoying issue on my 2015 C7 facelift A7. Every so often the driver's door mirror won't unfold when I turn on the ignition and start the vehicle. It will however unfold when I use the door switch to fold in and then unfold the mirrors. That has eliminated a motor issue in my mind.
I have tried leaving the mirror switch in the middle on the 'heated' setting' as I initially wondered if leaving it on the driver's mirror setting was confusing the car, but it still occasionally does it. I don't like leaving it on the passenger side as then the mirror tilts in reverse, and I do not like that setting as I rarely park by a kerb.
I have also tried turning off the mirror folding and re-enabling the feature in the MMI after a day or so in an attempt to 'reset' the system. I have also tried the manual override for cold weather where you turn the toggle the folded mirrors switch when the door is open and then even when locked they do not fold. Nothing seems to get rid of this intermittent fault that also seems to have no correlation to weather.
I suspect it may be an indication that I need a new battery, but as I have had no other indications of a low battery I am reluctant to spend £200 to test that theory. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas or experience with this issue?
