Hoojammyflip Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't know if the USDM GTs are the same, but my JDM 2.0GT spec.B has mirrors that will fold with the press of a button. Looking into this it seems that Subaru sell a unit to convert to folding with the key fob input to the car - but for $140 ish... Seems a lot to me... Is there another way of doing it? Somebody on the Honda Civic forum was selling a unit to fix into the Civics for about $60 that would do the job... http://www.civinfo.com/forum/civinfo-traders/47134-automated-folding-wing-mirror-modules.html Any advice or info appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I do not recall any USDM LGT model that even has auto folding mirrors. So I do not expect many people to be able to help you. Though I do recall a guy who may have installed such feature onto his car, but that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I don't see why you couldn't just splice the wires for power to the keyless unit to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought - just wanted to check if someone else had done it - and also a little wary if Subaru sell a part for £95 - must be a bit more to it than that Found this article here that someone has put a fair bit of work into a homebrew connection... http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/445177-DIY-Automatic-power-folding-side-mirrors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Does the GT even have anything mechanical in it to move the mirrors at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Does the GT even have anything mechanical in it to move the mirrors at all? I am pretty sure that the USDM version does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero1 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thought about doing the JDM conversion but with the motors and wiring and all it comes out to about $1000USD + shipping and taxes. However, we do have the spot where the switch goes from the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahr_side Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 EDM cars have power mirrors. I'd like to convert mine to fold on doors being locked. Thanks for the idea!
