Auto folding mirrors

I developed a kit which will automatically fold the mirrors flat when you lock the car, and unfold when you unlock.
If I'm not mistaken, US markets don't have double locking, so I made the kit to be triggered by the lock/unlock status, but with some variables. This way, the mirrors don't fold when the car auto locks at 4 mph (wouldn't be handy), and don't fold when you unlock the car (after auto lock), because that would mean they'd unfold upon locking.
The kit comes in 4 variations:
Double locking with mem seats
Double locking without mem seats
Single locking with mem seats
Single locking without mem seats
PM me for pricing.
Here's a video on my personal X-type, the kit used here is double locking with mem seats.

This kit DOES NOT make regular mirrors fold, it only makes powerfold mirrors auto fold.

For anyone with double locking and memory seats, here's how I devised a module to autofold the mirrors;
Autofold Memory Illustrated Honestly!)
If you're competent with a soldering iron, it's not that difficult.
For those with double locking and non memory seats, here's another link to what you need to do- even easier!
HOW TO AUTO FOLD WING MIRRORS ON DOUBLE LOCK (WITH PHOTOS)
A very satisfying DIY project!!
Just a thought, for those with single locking, it might be worth checking to see if you get a 12v pulse from Pin 4 in the 23 way grey connector to the GEM when you press the lock button a second time immediately after single locking. If so that would provide the Yellow/Black connection to initiate fold/unfold. Just depends on how your GEM was set up on build.

Hi Wannesd,
I have an s type and although it has double-locking would want a single press to lock 'n fold and single to unlock and unfold. I assume it douesn't send back pulses down wiring loom into the 20 way connectors? and you have trim removal instructions for an s type. I would like a price and description please. I am a new member and can't ping

Hi,
I want to add power fold mirrors to my 51 x type now I have read the various posts and gotten myself confused! Lol So I have standard electric heated mirrors and non memory seats, I've purchased another window switch pack that includes the power fold button, can I fit the power fold mirrors or not? I would be interested in buying your kit to automatically fold the mirrors on dead locking the doors, my doors lock when I reach speed of 4mph and I do have global closing windows so I would be very grateful if you can advise me on the do's & don'ts plus cost of your kit? I did read it was 40euros but has this changed? Please pm me as soon as you have time. Thanks in advance...

Bearing in mind you have the folding mirrors, if not add retrofitting those as well...
