Remote folding wing mirrors

[grey]

Is it possible to hook up the remote central locking so it folds/unfolds the mirrors when locked/unlocked?

Cheers

AFAIK, no-one's managed to do it yet. I was thinking of devising some circuitry to do it, but it hasn't got past the drawing board, (yet).

Interesting, I thought it would just be case of taking a feed off the central locking trigger and diverting it across to the mirror folding switch.

If that's a bit of a pain an easier option would be to take a feed off the + ignition and linking that upto the mirror switch which (in theory) should be super simple and achieve a similar effect only linked to starting and stopping the engine instead of the locks.

There was a thread about this a while ago, maybe do some digging on the forum - maybe going back 18 months or so...?

In theory it should be simple, but this is a French car after all...

From what i remember someone on the French Coupe forum did managed to do it, i think they had schematics that could even close the sunroof!
I'm having a search to see if i can find it.


Edit:
Here is the post on the French forum
and this is the PDF

Hope your french is better than mine....

Wow, thanks for that - What a lot of work for such a (theoretically) simple mod.

Found this whilst I was looking around:

Seems to be a popular mod across many vehicles and all appear to use the same bits and bobs.

Anyone fancy trying this on mine?
