Folding Mirrors

It could be done easily by anyone with a bit of electical know-how.
But I'm sure you'd quickly find that you use these mirrors to exit the car when parked on the side of the road.. Not a good idea.
A better idea would be to wire them up to the central locking.

Considering you'd be parked...you could just turn your head and look...

What about the special needs ones that can't!
You mean people with no necks?
If you can't turn your head, you can't drive a car

My wife got her P's & she can't turn her head well when driving. She had extra special side mirrors also with large blind spot mirrors to help with navigating. She also had a thing which went over her head rest which enabled her to use her head to depress a left or right panel which would turn on the required indicators.
She had restrictions on her licence, but she could still drive on her own.
For someone who was in a coma for 4.5 months after being hit by a car, I think that was a fantastic achievement !

She was hit by a car while she was crossing the road with her bike. She was only 11 at the time.
But yea. 4.5 months in a coma. She had to learn everything all over again. She suffered brain damage & damage to her bones. She was a champion swimmer before the accident. She got back into swimming & won a bronze medal at the Sydney Paralympics !
Plus, she can tell the difference between a Series 1 & Series 2 VR4 !!!
Here's a vid from Youtube if anyone is interested in watching. This was only 2 years after her accident. Her speech is better nowadays, as a few of the OZVR4 guys who've seen her can vouch for ;
That's an amazing achievement!!!!! :bigsmile:

Not sure how similar the VR4 electrics are to the FTO electrics, but this works for us: http://www.vikash.info/fto/auto_mirror/

So... Anyone tried to do this? Any luck?
I have done it with a viper alarm and have them set up on lock and unlock. I use 2 programmable outputs to drive relays to switch polarity on the mirror motor drive wires. You need to use programmable outputs so you can set them up for a selected time frame. I have mine set up for 7 seconds so they open and close completely but not have power on the wires so there will be no chance of burning the motors out.
