E90 Folding miorror retrofit. I may have an idea

benjimatt · 01-18-2011, 05:48 PM

So I see the folding mirrors as simple electronics and I really want to try and get them put in my vehicle. I dont have dimming mirrors so I figure it will be that much easier.

Does anyone have a pinout available for the 3 wire folding mirror?

I have wanted to do this retrofit myself and have searched for someone on the forums who has done it successfully but have not found anyone. Would love to get this done though.

Yeah I want a lot of the things my car didnt come with lol. Im thinking about buying one of these and testing it out. Im hoping that the mirrors just need a trigger.

I think I can wire the directional part exactly the way the current one is wired. And for the folding part have that triggered by the alarm or by the locks.
