nice diy bro, looks like alot of work. lol

 

Thanks.I've had it wired up for a long time with a momentary switch but not with the JDM switch.So mostly today was just taking pics and removing panels.

 

wow nice job and nice instructions. grats on your folding mirrors, its a nice touch to have and gives your car a unique feature.

 

i forgot to say that if you could make a video showing your car from outside closing the folding mirrors would be great. again thanks

 

Put it up for you.Look back to the first post.

 

Nice write-up, detailed instruction!
I will choose this if the mirrors are the same to our OEM mirrors: flat, convex, and "Objects in mirrors are...". I wish Muth mirrors have the signal on the cover of the mirrors like this one, not the in-glass signal.

 

Very nicely done. As a suggestion, for some of the pictures, the black text is hard to read on some images. If possible, redo it with white text

 

Which particular pics are you having a hard time reading?

 

real nice write up. i'll prob get to this towards end of the year.

Alternative way is to just pop the rubber piece out from both sides and then squish it down until it's straight and a few inches long. Then you can feed wire in much easier.

It may be necessary to disconnect those wiring harness from the inside. I don't remember exactly. It's been a while since I've done the disassembly.

 

Do you happen to know if the outer cover of the switch comes in black? I know for many SE owners who have that portion of their dash in black may also like to know. I browsed around and it seems like it didn't have it.

 

Anyone correct me but i don't think Japan has an SE version.I'm not sure either what the japanese Camry interior choices are but it might be harder to get it at a different color.Contact rhdjapan.com to confirm.

 

nice!

 

nice write up, alot of work but looks pretty doable if you have time and patience.
I like mine none powered, i dont even fold them anyways

 

u r missing the main purpose.... it looks great and works great and most most of all very unique. :thumbsup: Though, I hardly use this feature on my car. Once in a while when driving I switch it for fun but find it uncomfortable unable to use the mirrors so I flip it back to normal almost instantly. :lol: I know it's purpose is for parking but if the space is that tight I wouldn't park there anyway.

See below

The last pic is the passenger text

Just making it easier to see and for those who want to print it out for reference

dc is right, basic rule for text is not to have it camouflage. Unless it's invisible ink.

 

It is hard to find the mirrors similar to our OEM mirrors but have the LED outside. I am still looking for the whole mirrors assembly that:
- Driver-side mirror is flat; passenger-side mirror is convex.
- The words "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" are on the passenger-side mirror subject to the DOT standard.
- Heating
- LED outside
Folding is not neccessary to me. Unfortunately, all of the mirrors I've seen do not satisfy the first 2 conditions, except Muth mirrors, but they have in-glass signal, not LED outside signal.

 

Considering all the turn signal mirrors are overseas, they will not have the DOT standard writing. If you wanted to, you can have custom vinyls printed and add it yourself or just spray paint it on with stencils or something.

driver side flat and passenger side is convex is available. Most places dont state it but you should ask them.

Go to eBay and search for "nabobery" as the seller. Mirrors are heated, LEDs on the outside and they ask you to state LHD or RHD when ordering. You can also ask him and double check about the mirrors whether driver side is flat and passenger side is convex for LHD.

Better yet, here is the link to seller - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350253777111&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT. He also has auto fold option which costs slightly more.

 

Nicely done, and looks great.

 

Yawn....

 

LOL.I would like to tell everyone though that some credit is due to njerald for answering my questions before when i was installing my LED mirrors a while back.I know this DIY has been a long time coming,but hey,at least now TN Gen6 Camry owners have an actual DIY to look at for reference.

 

really nice writeup man!!! i had ordered a set from the place you got them from but they sent me the wrong ones, they were not LED and there were only 3 wires on the back of the mirrors....anyways, i have a question..how was the wiring for the power movement of the mirror? was it plug and play or more wiring needed?

 

Thanks.The mirrors should come with 9 wires.If you don't have the heated mirror option,you will only need to wire 7 or 8 of those(need to look at my wiring diagram to be sure).You just need to connect the wires coming from the mirrors for folding function to the JDM switch directly like in these pics.

I received my LED heating folding mirrors and ordered the JDM switch (wonder when I will receive this too). I looked at the link below along with the picture on the first page (pin #0, #1,... #9) on the JDM switch but couldn't figure out which pins are doing what. Could anyone please show me which pins control left, right, up, down, and folding?

Here is the wire specs on my mirrors:

Thank you!

 

you should just tap off the factory harness on the door...the fsm has the diagram of the harness and identifies which wire is which...this would be easier so you dont have to run an extra set of wires, other than wires for power folding and turn signal, into the car

 

Okie, I got the wiring/pin on the switch. Manual has the pin id on page 2 and 23 in mirror section. Thank you!

 

A few weeks ago I saw this threat with perfect explanation about installing these mirrors. So I decided to order these too.
but........ I ordered a white camry 2010 what's at this moment on the boat for shipping to my country. the mirrors will be delivered earlier than the car.
I want to make the mirrors in the same colour of the car.
So I need the color number of an White 2010 Camry to buy the paint for my new mirrors.
Who can help me ?

 

You take the installed car to a good body shop who will paint your mirrors for you in the right color... do not attempt yourself as it won't look as good.

 

sick, only if i couold do that to my gen 5

 

prob could get it to work. gen5 aint that different.

 

so the gen 6 mirrors aren't diffrent from gen 5?

 

The company that sells them also paints them is you request them to. I'm sure they have the paint color code. Call or email them.

mostly i ment the switch should work the same bc i think there are gen5 power folding mirrors.

 

so these would work?

problems with my install

I just had my auto power folding mirrors installed and run into issues. After taking a closer look and the skimpy description from the vendor, I decided to let Toyota install them. Now, my issues are
- left mirror glass vibrates a little (will contact seller)
- left mirror power adjust works arbitrarely, i.e. up/down/left/right all work but in arbitrary directions. Checked wiring and it's the same as right mirror, which works fine....
- remote control fold (2 times lock should fold the mirrors) does not work, mirrors always fold/unfold with ignition. the tech showed me that the wiring diagram from the vendor is garbage for that function - maybe because I have the push-button control and for that the wiring should be different.

other than that, they look and work good. color match is good and I like that they don't have any black plastic - all parts are color matched incl the small window panels. It looks I have the same mirrors as the OP.

If mirrors are folding when ignition is off, that means they wired it to the igntion and not door lock? Sorry, I'm dont know anything about the wiring but this is my guess. How much did Toyota charge you?

After my rear quarter panel being damaged from a falling tree branch, I asked the shop that repaired my car and they quoted me $200 for paint and labor if i was to get the mirrors.

 

So you have both the JDM OEM switch and the automatic folding module or just the JDM OEM switch?

 

i just have the automatic folding with remote control module, i.e. it should also work with the remote control and automatic.

I did look into it and the remote control feature does not work as i have the smart key (remote start etc). in my case, the door lock switch sits on the can bus and i can not connect the trigger wire of the mirrors to it w/o disabling some functions on the can bus (all door functions). I don't want to do it as I am still having warranty. I talked to my Toyota guy and he wants to see if he can get the JDM switch or any other matching switch from Toyota - I would use it to simply disable the auto-fold feature, i.e. I could decide to keep the mirrors out.

the rest of the problems might just be the wiring, I will need to go back and recheck everything.

right now, my cars has it's 'ears' always folded when parked

 

I know this is a Camry page BUT i need this for my Avalon.Looks sick..I need total control of how and when it opens and closes.So i need the JDM switch?Has there been a change in the quality of the build on em i seen some having slightly loose glass and other lil quality issues?

You can do with any other switch, but the JDM switch assembly fits right in our desk and looks professional. So far, I think their are only few or even one supplier for these mirrors...while a little virbrating on my driver side exists, it does not bother me et all anymore. Other than that, they work perfect and I use the autofold 24/7.
