Automatic Folding Mirrors!

Andres Panizo · Mar 31, 2016

Hey Everyone,

After about a month of snooping on the internet searching for this, I stumbled upon some mirrors on AliExpress. I wanted to know what you guys think about the mirrors in the link below. The mirrors are fully motorized and include a replacement switch that includes the folding button. I think this kit also includes the module that allows the mirrors to unfold when the car is unlocked or turned on. Mirrors also fold closed when car is locked or something along those lines. All the information is posted in the description in the link.

The mirrors are similar to the ones on the scion im but fit all the newer corolla models. Would be awesome if some kits were made more accessible here in the US but for now that is all I could find for power folding mirrors. And one of my concerns is if I can trust buying from AliExpress.

*(only downside, shipping is like $100)

AND...

Something that is compatable with all Corolla "S" side mirrors are led turn signals with running lights, and a courtesy light that turns on when car is initially unlocked. link will be below. These LEDs replace the fixture in your side mirrors. Also let me know what you guys think about these. At least with these, if you do some research, you'll be able to find them on other sites.

Let me know what you guys think of both of these products, and if they seem legit or not. Maybe this has sparked some ideas for some of you. I know it has for me.

Automatic folding mirrors are an option on Corolla... outside NA. So the car can certainly accommodate it. But I don't know about the wiring pre-installed or required for NA. Plus with Alie, you probably can't count on OEM parts.

I've never liked how cars for different markets have different options available. I think a lot of the options available overseas might be popular here. For example, on the newer of my two euro sedans, the folding side-view mirrors were only available the first model year of the prior generation, then they disappeared. Other features that would have been great here were rear climate controls on the back of the center console, heated rear seats, and a warm air recirculate feature (which would use heat from the engine to keep the car warm when it was off, for up to 30 mins, on a cold day).

the IM (soon to be Corolla IM) has electric folding mirrors. but, not the Corolla sedan.

One small concern is that I think passenger side mirrors are required to say "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." in the US.

I'm sure a small vinyl sticker can be found for that! I also noticed that when I found them online. And also found that in the top corner of the mirror... does that look like a blind spot monitor to you? curious

Very interested but my car is a 2015 **LE** model.. Do i also need the harness from a **S** model to make this work? If so, anyone here have it?

You might be able to use a unit from a Lexus is250 or 350. The only issue I see is whether the housing are identical in size to mount to the door.

For power, you'll need 12v, ground, and constant 12v. Might be a good idea to use a relay. The puddle light feature and folding feature will need to be tied into the keyless entry.

Another alternative would be to use a combination of the 2 mirrors to make 1.

I love my folding mirrors on my Corolla iM. :grin: I use them every time I pull into the garage.

If the base of the 1st gen iM wasn't so small, it be an easy swap onto a 9th gen. Be nice feature, but not really something I need. To each is their own.

A fellow Altis Club Philippines have installed this auto fold mirrors and auto power up/down windows. :surprise:

I’d like to do this mod on our 14’ Eco premium.
