I did it to my car so that channel 4 on the viper remote closes the sunroof and winds the mirrors in. I too like wanky features! Remote start or turning the ignition on winds them out. Carefull not to let the smoke out of the switch though, it can be hard to get back in!

no not the mirror close, just the "mirror close on door lock" function. Coz if i'm in the car driving and I wanna lock my doors, I dun want the mirrors closing on me...

i gave some thought to this, then after talking to a mate of mine we came to the opinion that it would be best have the mirrors set so that when the ignition is turned on they open, and when turned off they shut.

we will try work out how to set this up so that it has a timed signal to reduce the chance of damage to the mirrors. as im not sure if the motors turn themselfs off after hitting full open or full shut. so if anyone knows about that one feel free to tell.

if we manage to work out how to do this one we are willing to either make them for ppl to buy or simply give instructions on how we did it. probally instructions as we are lazy :cool:

few problems we faced...

when you turn ignitoin off, you have to use the power from the battery source (not accessory, as this goes off when you turn the off)

there's a dude in japan who did it and put up a circuit diagram on his website, I saw it, but then forgot to bookmark it.

you gotta rig the power to the switch that controls in out actually, coz it has a relay that stops power to the motor once the mirror has folded (otherwise you'll put a constant power to the motor and cause the motor to die, also it'll drain your batteries)

so it should be...

car turn on -> send 12v to mirror open SPDT switch

car turn off -> send 12v to mirror close SPDT switch

the switch seems to know when to turn off power to the motor so that's all good.

using capacitors and working out by trial and error will give you the size needed for this. so then you have the nice little timed part. the other thing that has to be done is working out how to have a circuit that sends a power pulse when the key is on and when the key is off. i dont know enuff about circuit shit to really say how to do this. in sep ill sit down with me mate and work all this out. shouldnt be tooo complicated.

with those problems you faced. use the power supply on the back of the key. the wire that is always power. either that or use the one that runs to the stereo. and for sending power when the key is off. using a simple cross over relay.

much more thinking to be done once i have someone to chat with that knows more about that stuff.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
