Auto Passenger Side Mirror Tilt on US F sport
I really wish Lexus allowed us to add the Luxury Package but one thing i could not live without was the mirror tilt.
So What i did was add a timer mirror tilt module through an aftermarket solution.
I previously added same type of interface in my older IS300 so I went on and did it in this car as well.
Word of warning!!! This is NOT a DIY. I am a professional in automotive electronics.
Due to the nature of such a new car There is no documentation at all so I had to get the wiring pinout for the mirrors through a Lexus Tech friend.
After 2 hours I finally found the wires in the car so i did not have to interface in the door.
I will share this information once I have time to clean it up and provide photo documentation but still due to the nature of how many wires you have to interface with, Recommend you seek professional help with whatever information I provide to help guide someone that will know what they are doing so they are not spending the hours I have.
Also the Way this mirror works is not the same. An extra Relay had to be used to "open" up the Third mirror motor wire. Without the third wire "open" when tilting down, the mirrors end up going Right, Down instead of straight Down. This ended up being another 3 hours of scratching my head and finally figuring it out.
Here is a video of it in action
Here is the information to the Module
KP Technologies Mirror Tilt Module model MT30

Here is the Dash is all torn apart, researching how I am going to get the mirrors to tilt when going in reverse since the Fsport did not get this feature.
Found the wires.
Double check that works is good before buttoning up.
Wrapped it all back up with black tape like nothing happened.

For locating the wire
I just kept probing wires on the running board until i found it. (bundle of wires running from under dash to the back of the car)
The wire color for reverse is BLACK from what wiring schematics show. (I am not responsible if you tap into the wrong Black wire and damage your car)
and yes BKUP LP is a Ignition power source that is being sent to a relay so you cannot really use that as a trigger.

Ahh no, didnt see that before. I have used relays before, but which wire(s) did you run through the relay?
Also, before you added the relay, would the mirror still return to its original position when shifting out of reverse, or would it stay angled out?
Thanks for all the help. I picked up this module a while ago and just now got around to trying to install it.
