Auto Fold Mirrors?
 

Any ideas how to get this done with the remote? I.e., unlock --> unfold, lock --> fold?

Would really, really be grateful, since I'm one of those that do em every single time I park, many, many times a day..

Maybe someone just tell me which cable under the mirror switches that fold/unfold both mirrors? Maybe I can hook it up with a logic that checks "engine OFF --> doors unlock --> momentary signal unfold" etc...?

Kodiakz? Phil? Para? Klaus? F5? LasVegas? Beuler?

I had my mirrors done when I bought an aftermarket alarm system for my SUT. When I disarm my vehicle, my mirrors fold out and my AMP running boards fold down. When I arm my vehicle, my mirrors fold in and my AMP running boards fold up. I'm sure I can find out how it was done from the audio shop that installed the alarm. I totally prefer this setup for my mirrors rather than holding the fold in/out button every time I park my truck.

Conrad, that would be awesome, if you can find out for me how they wire it! Thanks a bunch!!

I'm picking up my truck today, so I'll ask the installer when I get to the shop. When I get the info I'll post it on this thread.

I fold mine many times aday also, not to mention I always fold them when I park in my garage. Would be cool if they could be programed to fold in when you turn vehicle off and then fold out when you turn the truck on.

I used to have my windows roll up whenever I armed my car, having the mirrors fold in would be similar. You could do it with just relays, but I'm thinking... you could probably use a dei 530t module, which is for window automation. That should cover everything, it watches the resistance, so when the mirrors fold completely in or something stops them, it will shut off so you don't burn out your motor.

Easy to wire, give it +12v, ground it, hook it up to the wires at the switch and with aftermarket, the ground when armed wire or with normal, something that grounds when the car is locked via remote.

You could even make the mirrors constantly fold in and out if someone sets off your alarm, that would be the coolest. :D

Oh, I see how it is. :(

Re: Auto Fold Mirrors?
 

Lol! Not dishing you dei. Just that where/which wires "that grounds when locked via remote" and to "hook it up at the (mirror fold) switch", are exactly the questions -- for ConradII.. :D

Re: Auto Fold Mirrors?
 

Crap! They fold in?

Re: Auto Fold Mirrors?
 

Yeah, yeah! That's what a multimeter is for. ;) Not having an h2, the only thing I could think of is to reverse the polarity of the lt. green wire (factory disarm) in the drivers door module in door to get your ground when armed w/factory. And you just hook one wire up to one wire that goes to the mirror at the switch and the other to the other one. Simple! But you can wait for conrad to make sure. :D

Is this for the factory keyless entry system?

Sorry I haven't posted a reply yet. The installer who wired up the auto fold mirrors has been out of town and I haven't gotten a chance to meet up with him yet. The good news is that my mirrors work perfect and they work nicely with the amp research steps. I would recomend this accessory to everyone, especially if you park in the city and value your mirrors. I will get in touch with the installer asap and post a reply.:D
