Auto folding mirrors
#316
#317
So I noticed that mine does that too. It also triggers the alarm if I unlock the door. I wonder if you found a work around of the alarm if the car was in remote start and hasn't lapsed the 10 minutes. I usually just do 5 minutes before getting into the car so I would love to know if there was a work around for this.

I am not aware of a fix, not sure if there's a way to report this to the company that makes it.. I wired mine via a switch, so I can turn it off, and I mostly keep OFF now.

I don't use remote start, so haven't had any issues with the auto folding module, works every time.

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 here

Works as promised
The hard part was getting the steering column trim back on

It looks like there is an option in the settings ( dealer activation) than can be executed to roll the windows up/down and open/close the side mirrors. The mirrors need to have the open close manual option already
I called the dealer and he said it would be 100 bucks to activate the window feature. !&*@
Does anyone have the code and or software needed to be able to turn this feature on ?

I'm considering the Forten Kingdom 20-22 unit from post #320 for my '23 GX. Is it still causing the alarm to go off after the 10-minute remote start timer expires? I don't use remote start often, but that would be a pain.
Also, since the unit for the newer models add a physical interface for the module (the thing that looks like an OBDII port), does that mean the OEM OBDII port still functions normally?

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?

[QUOTEn=easym0ney;11490605]did it work without the on/off dash switch?[/QUOTE]
It did not and I’ve not gotten around to buying the needed mirrors w the needed frame.

I have had this one installed for about three months now. File this as the best $30 mod for the GX, right before the LED interior light upgrade. No battery drain, and awesome peace of mind knowing if I can see my mirrors folded from across the parking lot (or from our security cameras), the doors are locked.

Ordered the 'WINSGO' one from AliExpress in Mar. Was on sale for $25, and there was a $4 coupon - so $21 with free shipping.

Took 18 days for delivery. Installed it immediately in my 2019 GX, its been a month now and it has been working great. No issues. Probably the easiest & cheapest upgrade on the GX.
- Mirrors unfold on unlock
- Clicking unlock quickly 3 times in a row rolls down all windows
- Pressing and holding the unlock for a few seconds rolls down all windows & opens the sunroof
- Mirrors fold & all windows roll-up on lock. But sunroof, if open, does not close.
I wish there was a way to make it close the sunroof on lock. If anyone knows how it can be done, please tell. I guess there should be some option in TechStream to set that option.
