So what are the differences between the modes for Autofold Mirrors?

I have Lincoln style enabled, which folds the mirrors upon lock, and won't unfold them again until the driver's door has been opened and closed again. Unlocking and opening other doors won't unfold them. The regular style is just lock=fold, unlock=unfold.

I chose Lincoln style and have noticed a clicking sound from the mirror as I move the door. (I'm sure it's normal...just caught my attention since it was a fresh change)
I did the Lincoln autofold also. I haven't noticed any clicking but I remember reading something in the manual that said that was normal and that if you open/close the mirrors a few times in a row it should go away if memory serves.

Would love to hear from you guys or anyone else.
Keep in mind I'm the rookie here. Livinitup and others have answered many questions and gone out of their way to help.

The auto fold mirrors would be great but FOR ME would not work as I have to fold my mirrors to get in to the Garage. Can't unfold them until exiting so I'm sure sooner or later I'd forget to fold them back up after starting the truck and that would be really bad so no auto fold mirror mod for me. Another thing that's so great about FORScan being able to make the changes that work for you. Some folks want some, some want them all etc.

What I have done:
Average Speed Gauge added/enabled
Stereo on with ignition off (2015)
V8 sound disabled
Secure idle enable
Panic alarm set to two presses
Fogs and high beams at same time (Bambi mode)
Global windows - Up/Down w/Fob
Double honk disabled
Door Ajar chime disabled
Driver-passenger seat belt minder off (chimes)
Engine-Trans temps over gauges
Steering wheel - Hot(er)

As you can see I've selected what I wanted. Some features don't pertain to me for example Hill Descent as I already have it.

Good luck and have fun!!

Update .....I checked and they work as described below!

I'm not sure but the regular auto fold mirrors might work for you.. I'll have to double check this but I think that if you manually fold them to get into the garage they will stay in manual mode till you unfold them after backing out of the garage on the way to Wal~Mart.. Once there locking the truck will fold them automatically and unfold them when unlocking the truck to stick the beer in.. Once home again fold them manually and park in the garage..

Okay I'm gonna be "that guy" who doesn't read through the 800+ pages and just asks the question

Just got FORSCAN and you KNOW what my first thing is going to be... so what entry/#'s do I need in order to tell my truck to IGNORE the following

Ignore Fog Light Out (I don't have fogs anymore and it throws a DTC code)
Ignore Headlamp issues (cause ya know, I sell LED headlights)
Ignore Front Turn out issues (again, the whole LED replacement thing)
Ignore Rear Turn/Brake out issues (as I said, LED Replacement bulbs going in).

Also, looks like the cargo lamp might be throwing a code also, since I have LED's in there.

Anyway what are the magical settings so I don't need LED Load Resistors?

I have mine set to Lincoln style and they do not unfold if they were manually folded so either mode would probably work.

It was my understanding that when I got in the truck (in the garage when leaving) they would unfold once I either started the truck or closed the door.

When getting out of the truck after parking in the garage I always lock the truck as well. Would this not have an effect of the unfolding?
