Making Folding Mirrors Automatic

[IanIanIanIan]

My PiP has folding door mirrors. I believe it is possible to add a plug and play device for about £40 to make them fold automaticly when the 'ignition' is turned off.

I followed a lead from the PriusChat site to a man in Japan who could possibly supply from there but it came to nothing.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Have a look at this web site http://www.maxaudio.com.my/siren-buzzer/3069-uni-toyota-honda-kia-hy-mazda-suzuki-nissan-auto-fold-mirror.html

You could go back to my thread in Sept. 2014 where I fitted a Toyota genuine part 08645-47040, but was alot more expensive, when you add postage and custom/vat fees.

Have a search for PO-40 folding mirror kits, there is a gent called Michael in Australia that can probably help.

Thank you both. I have contacted them and others,

When I tried this exercise eighteen or so months ago I received a resounding 'it won't work with the PiP'. I trust it will be different this time.

Hi,

I have a question and that is how easy would it be to add powerfolding mirrors to a Prius that don't have them? Am I looking at pricey replacement mirrors from Japan and wiring looms and whatnot?

Give up now unless you want to start hacking at your wiring and working out what does what.

I got the kit for my PiP, it only works as a direct plug and play for gen 3.1 and not face lift Gen3's (2012>). Wiring schematics and plug are completely different.

I'm fairly confident with auto electrics and wiring hacking, but even I could see that it was likely to turn into a nightmare :( Sent my unit back to the seller and got a refund.

That is the same conclusion I came to eighteen months ago, I was hoping things had progressed a little.

By the bye, which kit was it that you tried?

Was an eBay buy, about £50 from memory. Looked like a OEM setup and was good quality, just not compatible unfortunately :(
