Good luck .
If you connect unlocking signal the mirrors will unfold on unlocking, but if you leave it disconnected then mirrors will unfold when ignition is switched on. This was my final choice and then the system behaves alike OEM setup.

Just installed this travelin-lite module. Checked continuity in all connected and definitely power (ouch). Not working

 

[M4rc]

my wing mirrors with a switch inside the van. is there a way to get them to fold using the Key remote? TIA

 

[Pauly]

Depends what year the van is

 

[Dellmassive]

Providing the window pinch protection has been set....

Just press and hold the lock button on the remote.



For a MY18 that I have.

2016

 

[Pauly]

MY16 can be coded
MY17 need hardware changes
MY18 onwards do it as standard (just need to hold the lock button)

[Pauly]

The factories change over in august so vehicles made after then are the following Model Year
Sept 2015 on = Model Year 2016
Sept 2016 on = Model Year 2017

if your not sure PM me your VIN and will see what i can do

I’ve tried holding the lock button down doesn’t work can it be coded so this will work?

@Loz where abouts are you

there is a setting on the infortainment system where you tick a box for this to work,yes you have to hold the fob lock button down for longer and it will put your windows up and mirrors,its supposed to start the wipers automatically if it starts raining also but not figured that one out yet,its next on my waste my life figuring out the infotainment system list!

 

[Andpopse]

Operate Windows fully down and hold for 3 secs, then up and hold 3 secs. (All with ign on). This will reset folding mirrors and one touch window control

Hi Robert,

Appreciate you posted this a while ago now sorry for digging it back up!

I also have a MY17 Caravelle with folding mirrors that don't work off the fob, so planning to give this a go...

I understand I'll need the two new modules/motors (7E0959801L & 7E0959802L)

But I don't see mention of the two automotive relays that are also required in your original post?

If possible please could you confirm the required part numbers? As the links to the items you listed unfortunately no longer work.

Thanks!
Rich

Are you going the OEM or aftermarket way?
Have a look below.

To get power fold mirrors with fold on remote lock on T6 there are generally speaking two ways.

OPTION 1 (OEM)
Parts required:
- 2 off power folding mirrors (7E2857508DG & 7E2857507DB)
- 2 off door control modules (7E0959801L & 7E0959802L)
- 5 off pre crimped wire 000979009E
- 1 off 7E1959565K mirror switch with folding
Wiring:
Driver door(2 wires from folding motor to door control unit pins 14 & 15 and 1 wire from folding switch pin 8 to door control unit pin 12)
Passenger door(2 wires from folding motor to door control unit pins 14 & 15)
VCDS Coding:
How to Program folding mirrors - Pictogram
Cost:
Approximately £600
Functionality:
Mirrors fold when folding switch is in fold position and ignition is ON.
After VCDS coding mirrors fold on remote lock but long press is required.
Unfold when ignition in switched ON.

OPTION 2 (aftermarket)
Parts required:
- 2 off power folding mirrors (7E2857508DG & 7E2857507DB)
or
- 2 off power folding motors only
- 1 off mirror folding control module(made in China, £5 on Ebay)
- 1 off pre crimped wire 000979009E to get signal form door mirror folding switch
- 1 off 7E1959565K mirror switch with folding
Wiring:
View attachment 30308

VCDS Coding:
None.
Cost:
Approximately £250 - £300
Functionality:
Mirrors fold when folding switch is in fold position and ignition is ON.
Mirrors fold on remote lock.
Mirrors unfold when unlocked or when ignition is switched ON(can be chosen by connecting or not unlocking signal).

Obviously I picked option 2 and used folding motors kit with LED blinkers.
Best functionality and best value for money.

Are you going the OEM or aftermarket way?
Have a look below.

Ideally I'd like them to fold anytime the van is locked (and not have to long press) So I believe I'm better going for aftermarket.

From your list I already have the folding mirrors and the mirror switch that goes with it from factory (it's a MY17 Caravelle)

So I think I just need the below?
- 1 off mirror folding control module(made in China, £5 on Ebay)
- 1 off pre crimped wire 000979009E to get signal form door mirror folding switch

+On the wiring diagram (this is very new to me sorry!) what do the two squares that everything connects to represent?

That sounds correct to me.

Yes, but you need to test its functionally on the bench to make sure what additional wiring/hardware is actually required.
See another example by @Evgeni

T-L Powerfold Mirrors Not As They Should Be.

Guys, If anyone can shed some light, as I can't sleep right now. Went ahead and purchased the full power fold mirror kit from Travelin Lite. Originally, lock and unlock on the remote, folded and unfolded the mirrors. Albeit on the passenger side I had to swap a wire over on the connector as...

You should have it wired in place.
So you would need to disconnect it and modify your wiring accordingly.
