Programming Mirrors

[TXFRDOwner]

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing!! I have memory mirrors on my truck but not factory power-fold, so this could be the easiest way for me to achieve both power-fold and auto-fold in one step.

One question though: On my 2017 I checked the factory wiring diagram and could not seem to find a switched Ignition ON circuit. It seems all the various modules get the Ignition Status and Engine Running status over the network. Where did you tap a wire for your Ignition feed?

Thanks!

I tapped into a connector behind the driver side kick panel — C213 pin 8 (White wire).

Final diagram to put it all in perspective.

My initial ACC power source was hot during remote start. Hence unfolding the mirrors before any doors was unlocked.

My second ACC wire choice would stay hot 30 seconds after ignition off; I couldn't autofold the mirrors immediately after locking the vehicle.

So I married the two ACC wires together in a relay.

Do you guys know if this will work on a 2008?

Do you guys know if this will work on a 2008?

1) Does your 2008 already have power fold mirrors ?

2) If yes, there's a very small chance the 07-08 mirrors MIGHT be wired directly to a powerfold relay vs the 09-17 the mirrors power folding mechanism running through the DSM.

Short Answer is Yes it can be done on an 08, but if it doesn't run through the DSM like the above diagram you'll have to wire slightly different.

Yes my 2008 has power fold mirrors, and as far as I can see, it is controlled by the DSM:


Does this look like the newer wiring?
