Auto Swing Mirrors?

Am in the process of removing a cheap crappy alarm fitted to my R34 4 door and replacing it with a better one. Found the trigger points for the passenger doors ok and figured out how to trigger drivers door. On removing drivers door trim to check wiring i found this box wired into the mirror switch. From some research I believe it to be the module for the auto swing away mirrors. It had been disconnected but I would love to see if I could reinstate it. One side goes to the mirror switch and is plug and play. The other three wires however have me guessing. I split the box and they are marked on the circuit board as follows.

B+ (Straight 12v or Acc/On ?)

Earth (Obvious)

Sig (Trigger wire possibly?)

Its the signal wire that has me stumped. Am presuming that it was connected to the dealer/factory remote central locking to which I didnt get a remote for and was activated when you locked the doors either by key or remote. Anyone got any ideas?

Sorted. Thanks Chris. you were right in that they take their power and signal from the keyless entry module. Power from pin three and signal from pin six. At first there was nothing. Had the switch on the door in the neutral position thinking that the module overrode the switch function. Wrong it has to be switched to the out position to work. A bit of buggerising around but is now working. Hit the lock key on my remote and the mirrors swing in. Turn the ignition on and they swing out. Cool little feature with no real use here except for the novelty factor I guess.

Hand for tight street parking. Or in my case Redcliffe street parking where the idiots get within 2" of your car and destroy mirror housings.

yes. i once got back to my car with the driver side mirror facing outwards.....i was very pissed off but the person/car that did it was no longer there.

Where can I get one of these little modules? I would love for my mirrors to swing in and out automatically.

Mine is a factory nissan accessory item. Read on another post that someone used a jaycar module for auto window rollup to do the same thing.

Hey man I've just been searching the forum to find it but I can't find it anywhere, would you be able to direct me in the right direction please, thanks.

      r34's love to squeal

      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.

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
