Can you share where you sourced this connector for the switch??

I got mine with the switch. I looked for a switch that had the plug included.

ISSUE: So one issue I have seen with this mod: If you remote start the vehicle via the Phone App (I have not tried this using the remote), after the 10 minutes expires, when the engine shuts off, the ALARM goes on. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have a 2020.

I ordered the parts from Aliexpress, the folding actuators and the OBD plug in. Do I need the dash switch with the fold/unfold part to it? If I don’t care to ever fold and unfold them since the feature will be handled with the remote. Is that only necessary for doing it on-demand?

I assume the switch is for on demand usage. Let us know how it works without that switch.

Just bought it today from Amazon OBD Car Auto Window Closer Open Side Mirror Folder Unfold and Speed Lock Kit for Lexus GX GX400 GX460 2019-2021
Amazon Amazon
.

Will eventually install and see how it works Do folks still experience the sun roof non closure with this unit?

help!! Do I need the version under the steering or just the obd bypass plug-in? Is it true the under steering module is not present in the 2019 models?

In my experience the 2010-2018 version is the same as the 2019+. The only difference is the place where you install it. If it doesn’t work when plugged into your OBD you will need to use the supplied adapter for the steering wheel install.

well it would block up my obd port. I am using OBDLink on there to display some additional metrics such as tire pressure.

Am curious if an obd splitter would work to keep both plugged in.

I got both just in case, but would be interested in knowing if I can install under the steering for my specific model. That would be much cleaner IMHO.

I guess I could look under the steering and test it out in the worst case.

I have the mirror fold module along with OBDLink on a OBD splitter with no issues on my '15.

Default Auto fold mirrors and door projection lamps

Has anyone used the auto folding obd module for 2022 GX. There was some change for 2020-2021 model years. Would 2022 take the same 2021 module or its different?

Also, what do you guys recommend for the best projection door lamps. I want to upgrade if these are of good quality.

Thanks

I did the auto-folding on my '22. I posted it in a thread somewhere.

Default OBD Car Auto Mirror Folder - YOU MUST HAVE THIS!

Guys! I got this yeterday and installed it in my 22' GX and it works like a charm! Basically it folds and unfolds when you lock/unlock the car and few other cool features.

->Question that I have is, will this will drain your battery when the car is turned off.? Anyone out there who also installed one of this know if this is the case?

Instead of plugging it directly to the OBD I went and installed it right underneath the steering wheel like the video in the link

I have it in my 2020. Remote start your car through the remote app and let the 10 minutes run out. See if your alarm goes off when the engine shuts down.

It won't drain your battery, btw.
