Mirrors fold on Alarm arm/unarm- possible?

[poyz]

And you'll always just be another loser.

You know you're an e-loser.

You've got numerous threads in PF showing just how much of a loser you are.

Just a matter of time before the real world catches up.

Get started on that pink interior. I can't wait to write about it.

just remember u will always be my hero!

and if u think your car is something so powerful, its not, these are the types of powerful machines i work with every day designing and engineering and get payed a packet to do it 2!!, not that i need to prove anything to u!

yes thats right 12,500 BHP at 600rpm

i can show u stuff about mechanics u didnt even know existed!

so dont think u have anything over me u DONT i can run many a circle around u if i wanted 2!

Thats all i have to say about that!

now back on topic!

Some car alarms have a feature to automatically raise the windows when the alarm is armed. You may be able to use this trigger to fold your mirrors.

I have never thought of this idea myself, not bad.

I got the circuit diagram for a R32 sumwhere in my mass of rubbish... I'll get Dr Drift to wire mine up when I see him next.

Only problem, it relies on the lock of the drivers side door to activate it. It involves putting a resistor between the lock power switch and the side mirror switch. And a couple of other things.

lock the doors and the mirror goes in, unlock the door and the mirrors pop out. Its not that hard according tot he system and it will work with any alarm that locks doors.

Only problem the designer (some Jap R32 owner) stated was if you lock the doorswhile driving then the mirrors fold. He was gonna put an over-ride switch in the circuit, but I never found that copy.

Oh and the circuit diagram is in japanese.

Oh my, you're such a f*cking twit INASNT.

You've been working as a Mech Eng for how long now?

You're so far up yourself it isn't funny.

My dad's been a Civil Eng for ~40 years. Don't show off, it wont impress me. You don't compare to what my dad shows me you twit.

Anyway, anyone can surf the web and find pictures like this. For all we know you're a bum with too much blue/pink paint.

poyz next time u r in cairns give me a call and i will give u a guided tour of the turbines in the pictures if u dont believe me!

[poyz]

My dad's works in your feild. I've seen stuff like this. So you're working on a dam right? He's doing some Dam or Wind thing in SA.

I'll ask him about what he's doing at SA (Hallet?) at the moment. I'm sure even you'll be impressed.

I believe you. Btw: Who do you work for?

[Guest INASNT]

I am working on 2 hydro electric powerstation inland of cairns that are located downstream of 2 big dams. The dams just feed the turbines with the water.

And i work for GE HYDRO.

[poyz]

Dude, I know how Dams work.

General Electric Hydro?

[Guest INASNT]

Yep GE HYDRO.

So can we have a summary regarding the threads topic?

How? Who?

Also can someone give me a link to a wiring diagram for R33, i think i found R32 diagram. Is i the same?

[funkymonkey]

*coff* do I smell a shitfight? poyz control ya temper... and inasnt... stop fvkkin whoring shit... and keep ya grudges off other people's threads.

If the both of you don't stop as of this post i will delete all your posts in every thread where you have argued.

[poyz]

Fair enough.

Thread summary.

* You can use your central locking to trigger your mirrors to fold in when the doors lock (Note: Make sure that this trigger checks to see if your key is turned to ACC or ON. Otherwise you'll be driving around with your mirrors folded in.)

* You can use an auxilary output (ie to turn your windows up on certain alarms) to fold your mirrors in

* Spare yourself all the trouble and pay someone to figure it out.

I'm using my central locking. The mirrors fold back out when I turn the key to ACC.

Ula's using his alarm. He got his alarm fitter to do it. He has to use to use the switch to fold them back out.

[funkymonkey]

much better... poyz... what happens when you activate the central locking while you're in the car? do you have an override?

[poyz]

If the key is set to ACC or ON all that happens is the doors will lock.

Otherwise, the doors will lock and the mirrors fold in.

IMHO, this is better, it's independant from your alarm (Should your alarm die or you feel the need to get a better alarm - ie. Quicktrak).

I've got my mirror switch permanently in the fold-out position.

[funkymonkey]

ahhh think you just solved the missing piece in my circuit diagram... thanx man

[poyz]

No worries...

[mash]

Thanks. A thread summary should be a requirement on threads with questions like these

the installer worked it all out. I dont know if it is a time thing eg 5secs to close .. or if he used some other method .. I know there are 2 relays used for the sunroof ..

[funkymonkey]

you'd wanna connect a relay to the battery wire and the negative terminal of the mirror switch and another wire from the door lock sensor. that way when the door lock sensor is on then the mirror close gets power, and when the door lock sensor is off, then the mirror close is whatever the switch is at.

In the R32 the mirror close switch only works when there is power to the accessory system. So that's why you need to connect it straight to the wire.

Also you'd wanna put a safety in there which prevents the mirror close switch from being active while the accessory wire has power (ie you are in the car)
