Default Auto-fold mirrors?

Hello Everyone...I'm new here... :-)
I recently purchased a 2015 Lariat, 5.0L, Supercrew, 4X4, with only 20K miles!
I have the button on the door to fold the mirrors, but, I've been trying to figure out how to make the mirrors auto-fold when I lock the truck...Everything I've read says 2015 and up, with Lariat & King Ranch Trim has this feature, but I can't find anything about it on my truck...
PLEASE HELP A LADY OUT...?
Thank You!!

Tammy, it doesn't help to spam every subforum with the same message.

That probably sounded worse than I intended. It's not necessary to post the same message in multiple subforums.

Default Explanation...

Oh...I'm sorry about that! I was told that my original post was on the wrong forum, (for newer trucks), & he said I should post on the forum for older trucks, which I did...Then, I saw the forum for introducing yourself, & posted there as well...I'm new to this forum thing, & didn't realize I was doing it incorrectly...my bad.

You will be more successful with future questions by posting them in the 2015-2020 section.

As others have replied, I was incorrect in stating your mirrors​ require rewiring to auto-fold as you hope. But it does require use of a software utility (which is free) to make it happen. I'm guessing you would not be comfortable doing that but you might be able to find someone on this forum that lives in your area to do it for you. That might or might not involve payment.

A dealer will not do it because it requires "hacking" the software of the truck (it's harmless, and useful) which they will not do.
