I've not got folding mirrors because when I ordered it was auto-dipping w/folding and I HATE auto-dipping mirrors. The auto-dipping rear view mirror is bad enough.

If by auto dipping you mean dipping the passenger mirror when reversing, this only happens if you have the mirror switch set to the drivers mirror side.
If its set to the passenger side the mirror doesnt dip down.

No that electro-chromatic glass so you don't get dazzled. HATE the stuff spend my life looking over my shoulder when it's dark because I can't see what's actually happening.

I have all those options and I love them, really helps as my eyes are sensitive to bright light

My problem is I have very good light sensitivity and brightness acuity. This results in me being able to see various fringing & diffraction effects caused by electro-chromatic glass. So what you see as a nicely dimmed image I see as a darkish noise covered image. However, I can deal with intense (rather than bright) light sources better than most people so in a normal glass mirror I can pick out details in the darker parts that other people can't.

I tend to do that, too much going on in my brain during the day, then outside of work it turns into mush !!

You make my day you do Stuart, you're as daft as I am.

Washing the car with a hose etc will activate it and lock and unlock the car which can be a pain so I tend to have the car unlocked with the key fob in the garage some distance away.

One thing I would like is double click open and able to do mirrors too - not sure I want the SmartTop module though... think there is also another cheaper option. I'd also like remote start but that's a gimmick I can live without

Just saw the edit... I thought it was a bit

Double clicking the lock button actually disables the motion sensors from the alarm for if you have a dog in there.
