Remote 3D view - mirrors not "unfolding"

This is a "first world issue", but is bugging me
when i refresh the remote 3D view from the app, it warns you that mirrors will unfold, and you accept, the only thing with me is that the mirrors do NOT unfold, and therefore, the image is always missing the sides.

does anyone else have this issue?
do you all get your mirrors to unfold properly?

thank you for your reply.

Agreed, folded mirrors don't unfold when you want to update your remote photo.

I should add, my mirrors are set to fold/unfold on lock/unlock.

Unsure if that's the reason?

So, confirmed.
if you have mirrors to fold automatically when car is turned off, then they will unfold to take the pic for the remote 3D view and then fold back, works perfectly with the auto fold setting.

thanks for all the answers, and hopefully we have benefited some of the people here in the forum.
thanks again.

Just checked: works fine here with the folding option de-selected.

Also worked fine in the summer with the feature enabled.

Comment: Enabling the folding option here in the Great White North during winter is not recommended. If so, whenever the mirrors become immobile due to ice buildup (as often happens here) — something expensive is likely to break the next time the vehicle is locked/unlocked...

I've been casually looking for this feature for quite some time now. It hasn't really bothered me enough to overcome my inherent laziness until now.

Does anyone know how to set my mirrors to fold/unfold on lock/unlock?

That’s a really good point I had not considered. I don’t plan to drive it during the winter but if I do, I’ll make sure to keep the mirrors folded out

If you have pressed the button on the drivers door to manually fold in the mirrors, they won’t unfold when updating 3D view.
