Default Power-Folding Door Mirrors
my is250 has power-folding door mirrors. I can press the button to fold the mirrors only if the car is on. If the car is off then it seems that the power to the mirror is no longer active.

Does anyone know how i can bypass it so that it always has active power. And this way with the car off i'll be able to press the fold mirror button

any suggestions would be great.

thanks

this one might be able to help you, it will automatic fold up the mirror when you lock the car up. you not even need to press any button.

Get a car on the eastern hemispehere where it's an option and you can have them. Or a friend in JP to ****** you up some from a junkyard or parts place there.

i wonder if this works for $85 bucks. but the seller has a relatively low number of ratings and has no returns.

I am on the same boat and I would like the mirrors to fold as I turn off the car just like the ES. I guess it is one of those customizations that the dealership probably can set.
