#1: Electric folding mirrors Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 7:41 pm ---- Hi folks, was just wondering if it would be possible to fit the folding mirrors to a 03 1.4 lx that already has the stock electric mirrors, the reason im asking is that ive been meaning to replace a mirror/ part of one and thought it would be a novelty thing to do as i had heard about some gti's having them?
I did a search but couldnt find anything.
cheers

#4: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 3:14 am ---- I can also knock up a custom loom if you want.
You need 9 wires in the passengers and 7 in the drivers
I'm open to offers on the price too!
#5: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 5:38 am ---- It's possible, but quicker to just fold them in manually.
#6: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:14 am ---- The 206 electric folding mirrors are good, until the folding motor rusts up
Pain in the a**e to take apart & repair.
#7: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 6:23 am ---- Looks cool when they fold in when you lock it tho

The coloured trim panels on the mirrors are only clipped on

When you turn the mirror knob to fold / unfold them.
Not all GTI 180's can link the mirrors folding action to the locking system

Nope BSi update/confiq
Easy to do, but for requires main dealerness
#17: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 12:30 pm ---- You need a TH BSI with version 48 or above I think.
#18: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sat Dec 31, 2011 1:33 pm ---- Ah right. Yeh addaz i meant configuring the bsi settings when i said 'bsi change' btw
#19: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:43 am ---- So is it easy enough to wire in and wire in the fold in when locking? as i already have electric mirrors installed.
#20: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:48 am ---- Need to run the additional couple of wires if you don't have them.
Auto fold is another module.

I know GLX, XSI & GTI have the 2 extra wires for folding, not sure if the LX does
50 / 50 chance
#22: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:05 am ---- Cool stuff, suppose ill away and consult the finances.
Probably not bother installing the autofold.
#23: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:11 am ---- My LX had them
#24: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:14 am ---- as standard or done it yourself?
#25: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:15 am ---- Had the wires as standard. Did most things myself
Was the james bond car of 206's at one point with all the gadgets
#26: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: jcowan, Location: Leslie, fifePosted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:19 am ---- haha all i gots is a bluetooth parrot and ipod connectivity. fancy upgrading my clock from the single line though.
#27: Re: Electric folding mirrors Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Jan 01, 2012 8:20 am ---- Peugeot are pretty good at adding extra wires / connector plugs, saves money on making multiple different looms

What's the best way to get these panels off the mirrors? I've tried pulling but it does feel like breaking!

I normally unclip them from inside after removing the mirror glass.
