Dear Forumusers,
in the beginning of this year I decide to retrofit the PowerFold mirrors to my Astra-J - MY2011.
I bought the mirrorswitch and the PowerFold mirrors for a small money (all together for around 200€).
After everything was installed, I missed the function of an AutoPowerFolding my new mirrors.
I bought a second mirrorswitch for PowerFoldMirrors and start to study and analyse the integrated electronic inside
this switch. After 1 Month I got a very simple modification for the mirrorswitch and I set up my "AutoPowerFold Modul V1.00".
With my Module it is possible to AutoPowerFold the mirrors by pressing 2 times the "close" button on the FOB to fold in and by pressing
2 times the "open" button to fold out. The time from the first click to the second click on the FOB must be inside 4 seconds. After that
my module go back to normal state and wait for the next click on the FOB.
The size of my module is 54x37x21mm.
The comfort opening of the windows will work as normal (as you can see in the video). Also the Autolock will not affect the Folding.
My Module have an integrated ESD Protection on the connector and also an Powermanagement. It will go to idle mode if not needed.
The current consumption is below 1mA.
As my pdf´s are too big to make it as attachment, here are some links:
Modification instructions mirror switch
Einbauanleitung AutoPowerFold Modul V1.00.
Even in German language, but I will translate it to English if I find some time
Please note that the Right Hand Drive will have other PIN connections.
... and a little video ...
The price for my Modul ist 45€ plus 7,50€ shipping cost to UK by insured letter.
Payment by paypal would be possible, but need a extra fee of 1,50€.
Suggestions and comments are welcome :-)
Edit: Tested in a Astra-GTC as well, works quite fine.
