Received the module from AliExpress and gave the folding mirror function a quick try this morning. It seems to work ok, have to leave the folding mirror button on the out/extend position, lock the doors, then mirrors fold. Hit unlock and they unfold. After I hit lock I watched it for a few seconds and mirrors went to try cycling themselves out and in again so it made me a little weary about possibly draining the battery or burning out the mirror motor.
Going to give it a better try when i have time this weekend but for now I have it unplugged. Still a little nervous about bricking the ECU unless Im being paranoid?

One thing that you do need to watch far is if the module has been programed properly. I remembered one member had reported here (maybe a link from Arad), some of those module had constantly try to rolling up the windows even when the windows already fully closed, which makes clicking sound like the windows motor keeps trying and "hitting" the limit relay, a not so healthy cycle. If your mirror is doing the something, and try keeping trying to fold and unfold, will certainly not good, needs to be avoided. From my testing with the one from Taobao, the mirror folding function should be pretty straight forward, the proper behavior should be as following:

With mirror switch on the dash set at "Open" position:
- Lock the car with either key fob or touch sensor, mirror folds.
- Unlock the car with key fob or touch sensor, mirror unfolds.
- If you lock the door with lock switch on the door switch panel, then close the door, mirror stays in open position.

With mirror switch on the dash set at "Close position":
- Lock the car will have no effect on mirror since it is already folded.
- Unlock the car, mirror will also unfold. However, as soon as you turned on ignition, mirror will fold in again since the switch is set to Close position.

Just some references for you to verify the functionality.

In addition, If you hold the unlock button on key fob, all the windows and sunroof will open. When you lock the car with key fob or touch sensor, any open windows EXCEPT sunroof will also close automatically. On some modules, when any door opens, emergency flashing will blink 15 times (or when the door closed) if ignition is off. If ignition is on, the blink will not stop until all the doors are closed. I never have an conclusive answer on which one has or has not such function, from the best of my knowledge and observation, seems the ones specifically made for GX400 does not have the flashing function and the ones made for GX460 does.

Those functionalities seem correct so far. Wonder if its tied into the function of the lights flashing when locking/unlocking the since hitting lock button on the panel and closing has no effect.

I did request they remove that flashing light functionality. I'll give it a full test of everything you mentioned tomorrow. I just want to keep an eye on the mirror cycling after locking issue to see if it repeats again once or several times.

Locking/unlocking flashing and beeps are set through the GX setup menu, where you can enable and disable either or both. They are not part of auto folding module's function.

Yeah... I had that test module that was doing all kinds of weird things. I promptly unplugged it.

I just received this module from Aliexpress: WINSGO Car OBD Window Closer Open+ Side Mirror Fold Spread LHD Left Hand Drive For Lexus GX 2014+ and works perfectly. Specified I did not want it to flash while locking/unlocking when I ordered.

Took a quick video for anyone interested (ignore the food truck generator in the back ground):

I've actually gotten used to my hazard lights flashing at this point. Recently a guy at gas station asked me if that was a standard option to make the lights flash. He apparently wanted the option on his rig.

When I asked one of my coworker to contact the seller in China and asked if there's a way to turn it off, one of the question he asked was, why do you want to do that? LOL...BTW, he sent me a bunch of steps to try and none of them worked haha.

Thanks for the information. I ordered one and left a note stating that I only wanted the fold/unfold mirror function. I don't mind the close and open of the windows (the GX can do that already) but I definitely don't want the flashing of the lights...

Acrad

Does it also roll the windows up when you lock the car?

Otherone

Yes windows roll up when locked too.
