This is a few years old but might help with the search on the UK site:

Q. I've heard it is possible to get the mirrors to fold in automatically on central locking activation - how?
A. Pete Schofield has designed an inexpensive kit which you can buy. The kit uses two blocking diodes to simplify the installation and requires just two connections at the switch and two at the door lock relay. The kit is only £7.50 and comes with "idiot proof " instructions. Make a cheque for this sum payable to "P. Schofield" and send with return address to:
Pete Schofield,
224 Sheffield Road,
Barnsley,
S70 4PG
and he will send a kit by return post.

All you need is 2 12V relays and some wire. I did it on my GPX several years ago and works perfect every time.

Have the wiring schematic somewhere

Does this mean that every time you lock the car (say, when driving) that the mirrors will fold?

sounds like it. If you want to get a proper solution that works off the alarm you should contact Fergal Nangle at motovation.ie. He fits clifford alarms but I know he does extras like alarm operated features like boot opening solonoids, door opening solonoids etc so I'm sure he could do something for the mirrors that works when the alarm is armed.

Nope they work of a pulse sent by the alarm so locking the doors once your in won't move them.
