Hiya, yes I did and they said it couldn't be done. They also said it wouldn't work with re-wiring but that's possibly not true as I've seen that work on the 8th gen Civic, however as the smart top can fold the mirrors automatically it's clearly software.
I need them to look at my passenger side comfort access as it opens but does not lock on that side so a word with a technician using the diagnostics might show up some program options. Or I might ask a contact of my dad that owns a Indy German car garage and has ex bmw techs and he himself is ex bmw and keeps things up to date.

This seems to be a bit of a conspiracy!!! As you say the smarttop tells the existing motors through the existing wires that when it locks fold the mirrors. It must be possible to code it. Did the op come back and say how it's done?
I would suggest the following app, which has plenty of other options to keep you busy too!

You will need an iPad/iPhone or an Android device and a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 adapter. The app is relatively easy to use, and allows you to test before purchase.
