Electric Folding Side Mirrors

I have completely automatic mirror folding on the left side only for my 2009 Genesis. I just issue the command in my mind, and my arm automatically lowers the window and folds or extends the mirror. Comes with a lifetime warranty.

So your automatic mirror folding device is the one without the servo motor???

• the primary motor cortex is the main contributor to generating neural impulses that pass down to the spinal cord and control the execution of movement. However, some of the other motor cortical fields also play a role in this function.
• the premotor cortex is responsible for some aspects of motor control, possibly including the preparation for movement, the sensory guidance of movement, the spatial guidance of reaching, or the direct control of some movements with an emphasis on control of proximal and trunk muscles of the body.
• the supplementary motor area (or SMA), has many proposed functions including the internally generated planning of movement, the planning of sequences of movement, and the coordination of the two sides of the body such as in bi-manual coordination.
• The posterior parietal cortex is sometimes also considered to be part of the group of motor cortical areas. It is thought to be responsible for transforming multisensory information into motor commands, and to be responsible for some aspects of motor planning, in addition to many other functions that may not be motor related.
• The primary somatosensory cortex, especially the part called area 3a, which lies directly against the motor cortex, is sometimes considered to be functionally part of the motor control circuitry.

It is the one with the Motor Cortex:

The motor cortex can be divided into several main parts:

• the primary motor cortex is the main contributor to generating neural impulses that pass down to the spinal cord and control the execution of movement. However, some of the other motor cortical fields also play a role in this function.
• the premotor cortex is responsible for some aspects of motor control, possibly including the preparation for movement, the sensory guidance of movement, the spatial guidance of reaching, or the direct control of some movements with an emphasis on control of proximal and trunk muscles of the body.
• the supplementary motor area (or SMA), has many proposed functions including the internally generated planning of movement, the planning of sequences of movement, and the coordination of the two sides of the body such as in bi-manual coordination.
• The posterior parietal cortex is sometimes also considered to be part of the group of motor cortical areas. It is thought to be responsible for transforming multisensory information into motor commands, and to be responsible for some aspects of motor planning, in addition to many other functions that may not be motor related.
• The primary somatosensory cortex, especially the part called area 3a, which lies directly against the motor cortex, is sometimes considered to be functionally part of the motor control circuitry.

Other brain regions outside the cerebral cortex are also of great importance to motor function, most notably the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, and the red nucleus, as well as other subcortical motor nuclei.

In other words, the human motor cortex is the opposite of the lardass motor.

Sounds more like you got the Emanual folding mirrors.

On the '12, the button is right there on the door. So when you go to open the door, just push the button first, then open the door to exit. Or as stated, if you use the fob to lock the doors, hit it twice and they will fold.

What about when getting back in? Do they fold out when the car is started or do you have to hit the button again?

In one way it makes sense. If you are entering a tight garage you do want to fold without automatics as well as exiting they need to fold once out. Thanks for the reply.
