    Hi everyone. Thanks to this great forum I was able to hook this up to my new 2016 GXL.

    Firstly, it appears that the module is not that readily available anymore. I had to do some hunting and eventually found a supplier on Aliexpress.

    This is a really simple install and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who regularly parks in tight(ish) car spaces as it definitely gives you more room to walk around. It also has the added benefit of being able to see from a fair distance whether you've locked the car or not (i.e. the mirrors only fold when locked). I've done this on a number of occasions whereby I'll lock the car, walk away, then forget whether I've locked the car and a quick look back shows the mirrors folded so everything is sweet.

    Thanks to all those that posted on this forum for the inspiration to do this in the first place and for getting me 95% of the way there with the install.
    Thankyou for the update. Do you have a link to the seller as others may want to buy.

          No worries. This should do the trick....

          If the sellers sticks true to form, he'll contact you to confirm what the plug looks like on the back of the mirror switch prior to shipping.

            Cheers!

            I gather you just need one module for both mirrors?

              Yes. One module is all you need. It links into the same system that the button next to the mirror adjustment pad uses. Plus, once the module is installed, you can still use the button to fold the mirrors whenever you need to.

                  Have ordered one myself and will try again. I ordered a similar unit from another seller on Aliexpress about a year ago but never received the item, nor a refund. Hopefully this one arrives. My experience with Aliexpress has been poor in the past.

                      Hi all,
                      I'm wanting to do the same install but can anyone confirm if you lock the doors with ignition/acc on does it fold the mirrors in?
                      Cheers

                        I just checked my vehicle and the mirrors do not fold if the doors are locked whilst the ignition/acc is on. Also for interest, I noted that the actual button that activates the folding mirrors still works as normal when the module is installed, however there is about a half second delay before they start folding after the button is pressed.

                        Having thought about the modification a bit now, the only addition that I would probably make would be to include a switch in the cabin (probably next to the rear parking sensor button) such that the whole feature can be switched on and off. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want the feature, but I guess it's better to have the option to deactivate at will than to not. I would think that this would be very simple to do with a rocker switch or similar wired across the 12V power feed to the module.
