Auto folding mirror module

[dark]

I did this mod over the weekend, cost $20 and 2 hours to install.

Now my mirror folds when I lock the car, unfold when the ignition is on.

Greatest and cheapest mod. I didn't prepare a DIY write up, but if there are enough interest, I guess I can do that.

seems like there are not enough interest, but if you guys really want to do it. PM me your questions.

Where did you install the module? I'm guessing the biggest challenge is identifying which wires to tap.

I'm interested as well. There may be others interested that were hoping dark would supply the details. Please do.

I'm also interested.

In the YouTube video, your mirrors also look a little bit different with some kind of other mirror very close to the car. Can you please elaborate on this?

I'm interested. The module is in my Amazon wish list now waiting to see how complicated the install is.

I would very much be interested in this as well.

Hell, for $20, you cant go wrong. Just need to know where to put it and how to wire it in.

Hi Folks,

I prepared a DIY write-up finally, but it is a 5mb pdf file which I don't know how to post it here. If you want it, PM me your email and I will send it to you.

I received dark's DIY and it's very detailed. Thank you for taking the time to do the write-up. Hoping to get this mod done next weekend. wOot!
