Not on the 08 R36 mate unfortunately. You have to manually do it using the mirror switch. Bit of an oversight I think. Sorry for the bad news. If you were desperate there is a way of doing it but it involves soldering and replacement of modules and parts etc etc.

If its got the mirror fold capability on the adjustment switch/knob, I think you can.

I don't believe the '08s do though.

My (very) early 08 R36 does fold the mirrors using the switch/knob but not having the automatic folding thing is a bit of a pain in the arse.

DONT BUY IT I got one for my B7 and it doesnt work. Mine is sitting in the drawer wasted

Neither does recoding with VCDS Spent a week trying and nothing worked even though it accepted the coding changes

Have been on UK forums and mostly they havent been able to do it either.

On one forum was a report of one of these modules causing a fire in the car when it shorted something out. It could have been the owner bought the wrong one for his car as there are several depending on which model and where it was made.
