also, most convertible parts are the same as the coupe, so it would be a bit cleaner if you buy a convertible switch bezel instead of drilling out the one you have. i looked on the parts sites, and it seems that it would only be 25 bucks, but it doesnt show one for just the verte, it shows an interchangeable one for coupe/verte.
The OEM setup does not fold automatically. It only folds when you press the button. However, I'm also installing an aftermarket module that folds with doorlock and unfolds with doorlock or ignition on.

The convertible switch bezel will not work unfortunately. The convertible has 4 window buttons.

Well, euro-spec G37 sedans have this feature since '09.

Can you please give a link to what auto fold mirror module you used?

I have power folding mirrors on my FX but you have to push the switch. I prefer it to do it when I lock/unlock the doors.
