Mirrors fold on Alarm arm/unarm- possible?

[fattdex]

Do you reckon its possible to hook the mirrors up to fold in/out when arming/disarming car alarm?

[mash]

Good idea, i will ask around

[poyz]

Do-able, my car has it.

As well as a few people I know.

By the way, it's not necessary to fold out upon disarm. If you're side mirror foldout switch is set to "fold-out" then everytime you turn the key to "ACC" it will automatically fold out.

I could be wrong though, Ula has to flick the switch to get it to fold out me thinks. But then again, Ula can say something here. (Ula, you're a poof)

i know a guy who did it with his alarm and he installs alarms and he rekons it was super hard to get right and invovles the possibility offucing up your alarm module.. i'd suggest getting some finger exercise by using the damned button that came with the car!!! lol

[hippy]

whats the advantage of this .. only thing i can think off is if u park it on the side of a street ..

[inark]

there really is none other than it looks good... the button isnt that hard to use on the door

[mash]

What about the switch? If you had the mirrors fold in/out with the remote, that would mean the switch might be on FOLD IN when the mirrors are folded out.

[fattdex]

lol the only point of it is just making a cool device cooler! i dunno how its done but i guess that you would have to disable the actual switch in the car for it to work, the only thing i dunno about that is what happens if your battery runs flat and your alarm is reset with the mirrors in the wrong position. also is it a job for an auto electrician or a DIY?

[poyz]

You don't need to disable the switch in the car for it to work.

Rendering that "flat battery problem" redundant.

Btw: An easier way to do it is not to actually hook it up to the alarm. Instead, hook it up to your central locking. That way, doors lock, mirrors fold. Easy.

I was speaking to Ula last night, he got it hooked up to his alarm. His also doesn't automatically open back up when you turn the key to ACC and the switch is set to fold-out.

[king_kw13]

hey do all R33s have the feature of the folding mirrors? S1 and S2?? I didnt know that!!! Cool!

[fattdex]

ahh! didnt even think of that with the central, good idea. i guess id take it to an auto electrician for that, im sure i'd break something :-P any suggestions there?

Cheers for teh suggestions by the way ^_^

[poyz]

Shouldn't be too hard. I guess you'd be better off to an Auto Elec.

You're welcome, besides, as if any other guys in this forums would have done it yet. They're too busy painting their interior blue

LOL

[poyz]

Just one last thing, with the central locking thing, make sure you set it up such that when the doors lock but the key is turned to ACC or ON then they won't close up on you. Otherwise your mirrors will be folded in whilst driving and the doors are locked.

Then again, could probably help with the 1/4 mile times for your Skylines

P.S. that "your" is not directed at you

[Interloper]

my mirrors fold in when i lock the car, i guess its good for tight car parks and not much else.

Only problem is when i remote start the car and then try to unlock it, the mirrors won't unfold. Which basically renders the remote start function useless as i then have to turn the car off and unlock it again before the mirrors will unfold.

[poyz]

That's a tuffy. Perhaps you can trigger the remote start or the unlock mechanism to unfold the mirrors.

Should be easy enough.

i guess u dont need an alarm hey poyz, as no 1 in their right mind would want to steal a pulsar!

[poyz]

Piss off c*nt.

You've got nothing to do with this thread.

Unless you want to say something relavent, then piss off.

Go and read Inark's post about this shit. I've given up on you, YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT.

Paint your interior blue or something.

[poyz]

FYI...

My alarm does exactly what these Skyline owners want to do.

Ula got the idea from my car. Just passing it on.

I don't give a toss if I come off as arrogant, but at least I know what the f*ck I'm going on about when my fingers hit the keyboard.

Why don't you do the same and learn how to read compressor maps and install your Profec B. I'm sure you're happy thinking you have the first in Australia (*laughs*).

poyz

no matter what u say u will always be my hero!

(laughs)

and i might paint my interior pink just so u have something else to write about!

fattdex

give the guys at freeway car audio a call, either talk to lauclan at the dande store or ricky at the malvern and they will be able to hook it up the way u want or atleast point u in the right direction
