Autofold stopped working after software update

Sorry it didn't work.

Is your next step the battery disconnect?

Oddly enough, my oil life just dropped from 53% to 5% just as I was out getting the stuff to change it.

So...had an update two days ago and now my mirrors are acting all squirrelly. 50/50 they auto-fold no matter what I try. And now when I try to turn it on & off in settings, it briefly says "this feature is unavailable. Try again later". And I am getting an obnoxious warning tone when I first get in the truck. Why do they keep messing with shit?

It's a mystery... I can't see that any updates were applied, but the autofold started working again and has been working consistently. This happened after I did some towing with our small 5th wheel trailer. I used tow/haul mode and the 4L setting a bit (while hitching and unhitching) and used the auxiliary camera mounted on the back of the trailer along with the two rear view mirror cameras while towing/backing. Those are the only unique things I can think of associated with the change, but it doesn't make any sense that any of these would trigger autofold to work again. Anyway, it is nice to have it working even if I don't understand why...

Same here. It started working last week after another update. The mysteries of the world continue to confound me, lol

My truck sometimes thinks the rear tailgate isn't closed when it is -- I have to slam it shut to get it to decide it is closed. However, I noticed that the mirrors won't autofold if the truck thinks the tailgate isn't latched. I will monitor to see if this is causing some of my occasional autofold issues.

I have an upcoming 10K mile oil change, and I'll see if the dealer can fix the issue with the tailgate sensor.

I had a software update last night (something for the radio) and an oil change at the dealer today, and now autofold stopped working again. It is a mystery...
