Thanks CP.. I totally agree.. its crazy that they dont come that way.. Even the sales manager at my local dealer was surprised when I asked him if the 2024 IS500 would have power folding mirrors because the older ones dont.. he was like yes they do! lol.. I said show me.. and he went to the car and whadda know... no power folding mirrors lol

Of course not to take anything away from the OP, cuz this thread is super helpful and informative.

that’s a very good point, any idea when they will release them? I’m guessing the IS350 will still have the same mirror as the IS500? Also do you think with the 2025 release, will it become automatic now?

I had them on my last 2 cars and decided to turn them off. Every time you turn off the engine, the mirrors fold and I concluded that it was an unnecessary gimmick that would just fail at some point. Sure there are some small garages where it might be useful, but you still must be able to open the door. I am fine without one more gadget that can fail.

What's the purpose once your parked , but with all the bells and whistles these cars have its surprising they don't have the function.

Be nice if you could manually have them fold with car running like for pulling into a garage, doesn't do much good once the car is in the garage.

They are invaluable for me. I have them on my LC, but not on my Silverado. I park both vehicles in my two-car garage. The LC on the right and the Silverado on the left. I need to retract the LC mirrors to fit both vehicles, and since I Park the truck on the left, I can retract the mirror by hand. Same When I approach a drive-thru mailbox. Wish my truck had power folding mirrors
Maybe someday I'll figure out how to install
