DavidAshton Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Anyone ever messed with the electronics to make the wing mirrors fold in when the car is locked with an alarm fob?If so any pointers, whats involved? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tommykite Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I havn't done it but its a good idea! That little button is anoying I end up drivin around with my wing mirrors in loads.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm going to try and figure out how to do but it needs a live feed as they only fold when the ign is on so i need to work it out without back feeding the ign Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Idrees said his V did it before he striped it. It would be awesome but my mirrors are out of sync and sound like dieing pigeons when retracted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joel_ep91 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 my glanza also has self retracting mirrors i beleive it was an optinal thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 ^ so yours fold in using the standard central locking fob? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yeah as Dan said mine did this before I stripped it. When you locked the doors with the key they would fold in then come back out once you turn the ignition over iirc. The retrsction button doesn't work at all after putting it back together for some reason. It was pretty cool though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Iddy I need to see the back of the mirror switch and what wires In your door I've just checked mine and it's not connected to the central locking at all would be nice to know how it is......???? Did you change anything like a different drivers door or?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I didn't do anything apart from f*ck about with the mirrors to paint them. Opened them all up so I could spray just the cases but failed, so put them all back together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 If you want me to have a look I don't mind might just be a simple fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I need a new pair of wing mirrors as mine are all floppy, they aren't solid anymore. I think it's because I manually unfolded them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've folded my mirrors in loads of time and they always folded back out as soon at the ignition is turned on ?? Anyway I will figure it out because it will be well cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Ok so I don't know how I've managed to knacker them, but I have! Maybe it's something to do with opening them up. When I get a new pair, I'll let you know if they work as they used to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
