Hi everyone

Have searched and found the various threads using the mirror kits from acesdvd. Unfortunately, that company doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Has anyone bought a different folding mirror kit and/or can anyone recommend one for me please?

The electronics/wiring side of things should cause very little problems for me as electronics is one of my two hobbies.

Many thanks

I got the same kit, the instructions were poor, but I followed a video to find the right wires

Many thanks, a little trial and error and finally got it sorted so it closes when locking with key, and opens when unlocking with key, a bit different from the vid.

Looking at the youtibe vid at 2:37, looking at the wires, Blue on the left, then orange

In my pic below

No 1: is the blue wire at the front left shown in the YouTube vid at 2:37
No 2: is the orange wire next to the blue in the YouTube vid at 2:37

Screenshot 2024-10-13 at 14.40.54.png

I joined the red wire from the kit onto the blue wire in No. 1
I joined the green wire from the kit to the orange wire in No. 2

Now, with the mirrors open, if you get out and lock the door, the mirrors will close

To get them to open when you press the key, sorry, I can't remember the colour and I've put all the trim back, but the grey wire goes into No 7 in my pic

Oddly while playing around, with the mirrors closed, if I touched the grey wire to other numbers, they opened, but wouldn't open on the key press, only using no 7 made it work properly

I’m getting weird things happening

Mirrors always close fine when I lock the car.

They only open occasionally, sometimes I have to lock and unlock a couple of times to get them to open, occasionally I have to resort to using the button/knob in the car to open. Very odd, there does seem to be any pattern to it (tried it with the mirror knob in all positions)
