Hi guys

just wondering if the side mirrors are meant to automatically fold in and out when you turn off and on the ignition?? i can press the button to get them to fold in and out but was under the impression if you put the switch in the middle it may do it automatically?

ADM models never came with folding mirrors. Not sure about the NZDM ones tho. Maybe one of the Kiwi boys could shed some light on this one.

you can buy an OEM relay arrangement to make them fold in automatically when ignition turned off. :)

Now all I need to find out is if the wiring is there on the ADM models and it is only a matter of fitting the mirror motors and switch. But knowing Nissan AU, they removed that wiring as well :(

ive never taken off my door pannels before but couldnt u just change the switch feed, at the mirror switch to make it work i'll try that and let you know how i go, im thinking tho, that i could only make the mirrors come in when u turn the car off instead of manual tho if i change the feed around

My car has folding mirrors. I leave the switch in the right most position.
When the ignition is on they unfold.
They then stay open until I lock the car using the remote/alarm - not when the ignition turns off. If you lock the car with the key they do not fold.
