#autowingmirrors #FN2autofoldingmirrors
Obviously this module will only work if you have the GT model, and already have existing manual push button folding mirrors.
Thank you all for the support as always, subscriber numbers have gone up nearly 100 since lockdown! We are so grateful.
Stay safe everyone and we shall see you soon.
Ben & Chris 🤘🏻❤️

You're an absolute legend mate. People like you make the world worth living in. Free advice and help is invaluable especially when most of us HAVE to do this ourselves as it all costs so much these days. Can't thank you enough.

Topman for taking the time and effort to show it more simple👍
Took a look at the instructions while doing it, I even took the passenger door off to begin with sigh. Been looking for this video since then to sort it tomorrow, thanks for being a Hero the world needs.
My unit has just come in today and it took me roughly 20-30mins to fit it and it works an absolute treat cant thank you enough although its went up in price at the end of the day its well worth it 👍👊
Nice one bro. Nice n simple then. 👍👍. Thanks for the upload. 👍
Thanks buddy,that's helped me a lot ! All the best
I’ve been waiting for a video like this and I am so thankful people have the same car on here as me
Just used the vid to fit mine. Connectors supplied are rubbish, so I soldered the 3 wires. Works perfectly. Thank you so much.

Well done man thanks 🤙
Cowabunga thank you. Did mine today I have no experience of electrics. For any other newbies there is a small button next to the electric blocks to help pull them out. Well worth you tubing how to use a quick splice connector. Overall very happy with the mirrors auto folding. Next task for me using the Cowabunga short shift install. Cheers Guys!

SO much better than the shitty instructions! I'm glad I found this video before I started. Thanks a lot.
Fitted mine today after watching your video. Would have struggled without it the instructions were shite. Thought I’d messed up at one point, sat the door card back on and shut the door to try it and nothing happened. Door didn’t even lock. Turns out I didn’t push the top right connector back into the door after splicing the wires. Works a treat now tho. Cheers pal

Hi I've just watched your excellent video on fitting remote mirrors folding! I'm about to do something while I do the remote job and what it is I've discovered that my driver side mirror isn't a power folding one as previous owner has skimmed on replacement Anyway I got a power folding on eBay and the mirror case (body) is broke I was wondering I could replace the iners from old non power to the power folding mirror???? Have you ever done this before? Looks like it might be possible to transplant unbroken body Do you know if they use same bodies can you help? Appreciate it thankyou
I have an 09 accord EX with Power Folding Mirrors (AfterMarket) & the exact same module but mines from china ! I have the folding mirrors button But ! The mirrors dont fold I will purchase this and see If it works... Also mine doesnt have the gray wire attached to it but i will see if it works...... It might be a faulty module because mine clicks once in a while but does nothing ! Having trouble with this we just have different color wires but still the same functions ! Hopefully this works !
Cheers
Wondering if this is Possible for the Ep3 Type R ?
thank you :) i did that on mine , work perfect But thoses "white" cable are yellowish for my eyes xD
Hi. I did all the conections with the module on my civic and it works but only a half. When i close the car the mirror works but when i open dont. Maybe u know whats the problem cause i did all your steps.
Thanks for a great vid, mate! Now they are charging 50 quid for it. Robbing bastards...

Must just have the two wires round the wrong way mate
Hello, thanks for the guide. trying my luck, not sure whether I would receive a response considering 3 years after you uploaded the video. I have a Honda Insight, it's the same thing however, the mirror positioning controls and the button for folding the mirror control are next to the steering wheel. is there any wiring diagram that I can use to splice the cables within the door, as that signal must be somehow sent to the mirror to fold. Thanks in advance.

Quick question, please and thanks.... If buying this module, and the mirrors currently don't work properly (although they are powerfold, I think they have the issue where the existing stock module breaks), does this module mean I wouldn't need to also buy a replacement for the original module?

Usually it’s the sod modules that die inside the mirror. So no, Super easy to replace, one in each mirror. They cost £15 per unit or you can soldering iron just to replace the just the SOD which are like £2 each.
Hi everyone I just want to ask have anyone try changing non electric folding wing mirror to electric folding mirrors cant find any vid of it if anyone try did it plz help on a fn2 type r

Don’t the wing mirrors fold oem if you press and hold the key fob lock for 5 seconds (GT model)? Press once for lock, press and hold 5 seconds and wing mirrors fold as well?

You need folding mirrors already. This will do nothing if you have no motors already in them. The idea is, on GT models there is a button on the inside to fold the mirrors, this module allows them to fold automatically when the car is locked

I come to realise you can’t retrofit this if you haven’t got the actual wires connecting to the wing mirrors. 9 wires is power folding and 7 is non power folding. 9 wires is needed on either side of the connectors where you connect the wing mirror and the power folding
