Default Folding sidemirrors

I have a Daimler Jaguar Double six years. 1996 which has only driven 90,000 km. Have now bought some used, foldable side mirrors that I would like to mount on this car. I would like to be able to operate them manually with a rocker switch, but would also like them to respond to the central door locking. I can well devise the electrical by myself and construct the electrical ones using some relays and maybe also a few time-controlled relays. However, it will be a pretty big task and require a lot of thought :-) .. Therefore, I thought that maybe there was someone in this forum who had already constructed something like this. Maybe he even has a wiring diagram so he is willing to share with me ??? If so, I will be happy and grateful. Thank you. Per

All you need is mirrors assembly and a switch. The wiring is already pre-installed.

Folding mirrors would be very nice to have. Too bad they didn't offer them in most markets. Also they used too weak materials (plastics) in the design which caused them to break (as in Cup Holder). Now they are pretty hard to find and would take some work to make reliable. Let's see if Per will come back for an update on his project.

I can't remember (or figure out) how to tag someone (Per) in a post so they get the notification. ?
