I was jealous when I seen that my friends Skoda Octavia Elegance model (2009) could do it.  I think you need the Electric Memory Seats, not sure why, I think I looked in the door controllers and couldn't find anything there either.

The folding mirrors came with the luxury pack.

Luxury pack - Automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, automatic headlights on with coming/leaving home lighting function, electrically foldable door mirrors, door mirror puddle lights, reverse activated kerb-view adjustment on passenger’s door mirror, front footwell illumination and rain sensor - £225.

Electrically foldable door mirrors, door mirror puddle lights and reverse activated kerb-view adjustment on passenger’s door mirror - £130.

So they will need different mirrors fitted along with a different control module and a loom then code them.

If you Google they have been talked about.

I'm sure this has been asked before and the answer was no they can't, only from the knob in the door.
Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂

How much more room do folding mirrors give you? On the Mk5 it was only 12mm each side. Hardly worth it IMO.

Also the dipping passenger mirror is a pain in the arse when you're reversing a trailer.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
