Retrofit: Power fold mirror with fold on remote lock

[Camperjoe]

Would I be right in thinking that if you use the switch to fold and then turned off the ignition and locked it would those extra relays still be constantly energised? (small battery drain). Appreciate the fact it folds on remote you wouldn't really need to do this, but assume some may.
I think I'm struggling with what the Blue and Yellow wires do, but great work!

Doh! forget that I now see pin 86 is ignition so its me being thick.

I think I'm struggling with what the Blue and Yellow wires do, but great work!

When ignition is ON and you supply blue and yellow with 12V (+ & -) mirrors fold and when you reverse polatity on these (blue and yellow) mirrors unfold.

 

[Camperjoe]

Excellent detail. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Many thanks!

 

[Robert]

Yes Robert, I can fold them but only till a door is opened, then i have to put the key back into the ignition! Boo Hoo

If you post the picture of your drivers door module socket pinout and it's plug I could possibly explore it further.

 

[Camperjoe]

Will do, may get chance over next couple of days. Thanks

 

[Camperjoe]

Ok here is my door module and plug if this means anything? On the plug I have the large + & - wires and then a Green/Black, White /Green, Green/Blue and White/Red. Many thanks

I found I had folding mirrors on the key fob by accident today, pressed the lock button once and then realised I had left the window partially open so held down the lock button, windows went up and the mirrors folded!

As soon as you put turn the ignition key the mirrors move back into normal driving position.

Happy days!!

Yeah I've not got folding mirrors just yet. I'm trying to work out what modules I do have before making a start on fitting some.

Your door modules don't support mirror power folding, sorry.

 

[Camperjoe]

No problem, thought that may be the case. I will go with the aftermarket module. Do you know what is actually the difference between the T5.1 and the T6 folding mirrors as there is quite a price difference? If its wiring and I'm now having to go the aftermarket route of wiring it all in can I use the 5.1 mirrors? Or maybe its the standard mirror operation is wired differently? In which case I would have to buy the T6 ones. Many thanks!

 

[Robert]

All power folding mirrors from Amarok, T6 and T5FL are the same.

 

[Robert]

Where are those door mirrors with indicator repeaters from?

Wow, I think at that price I will get the mirrors working first. I do like the idea of puddle lights in the underside of the mirror. I've ordered the control box so once that arrives I'm up for buying the mirrors.

 

[Robert]

I have been PMed few times so I decided to post it here.

There are few ways to get mirror blinkers wired up, but I took the feed directly from the BCM/CEM 09.
PIN 14 black/white on plug B is for left hand side and
PIN 15 black/green on plug B is for right hand side.
Obviously "-" for both can be connected locally on each door main earthing/ground point.

Hi people. Do any of you know people able to fit these in the southwest? I was quoted today £979. I was a little shocked at that.
Ps I don’t mind travelling and paying one of you guys to fit. Plus it’s a new face and a new name to know.
Any help would be blimming fabulous.

 

[Pauly]

I may be able to help (Plymouth) what gear have you bought ?

Hi Pauly. I haven’t purchased a kit yet, but I can look one up tomorrow. I’ll be opting for genuine parts though.

 

[Robert]

And again, I have been PMed few times regarding mirror puddle lights so I am posting this here.
I have connected both mirror puddle lights directly to the main ceiling light(both + & -).
These are the LEDs available on eBay directly from UK.

Once I cut the opening(by drilling 3 holes, then jigsaw and then sharp knife) I have used clear silicone to glue the light in place. It sits flush so looks almost like factory fit.

 

[Bear]

I have a broken mirror assembly, just need to find a repeater that sort of fits, to give it a go.

OPTION 2 (aftermarket)

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