How to disable the mirror folding function on the Audi Q3.

Model: Audi Q3 8U - Years 2011-2018
Part: Side mirror

In this video, we see how to disable the folding of the external rearview mirrors. This function can be particularly useful in winter, when the outside temperature is low and ice can cause the mirror motor to burn out in the (useless) effort to open them. It is better to leave them open to avoid this situation. On the display, we do not see how to disable this function. So how do we do it? There is a method: we need to turn on the instrument panel, rotate the knob on the driver's side handle to the six position. If you do this with the panel off, you will see that the mirrors do not fold out, even if you lock the car with the remote. So this is your winter configuration. To return to the original configuration, turn on the panel and put the wheel back on six.
