Fitting reverse Dip Mirrors Passenger side
Fitting reverse Dip Mirrors Passenger side
This kit is universal therefore can be wired to any car that has electric mirror control
Ok so here we go the kit has a total of 8 wires all nicely coloured

RED – 12VDC CONSTANT POWER
a. Connect this wire to a source that reads 12 volts at all times.
YELLOW – 12VDC IGNITION POWER
a. Connect this wire to a source that reads 12 volts only when the ignition
switch is in the ‘ON’ position.
BLACK – GROUND
a. Connect this wire to a constant ground.
PURPLE – REVERSE INPUT
a. Connect this wire to the vehicles reverse signal. This signal should read
12vdc whenever the transmission is placed in reverse.
BLUE – MIRROR ‘UP’ OUTPUT
a. Find and cut the ‘mirror up’ wire. This wire will read 12vdc when the
power mirror is being motored up. Once cut, connect the mirror side of
the cut wire to this Blue ‘Mirror Up Output’ wire.
GREEN – MIRROR ‘UP’ INPUT
a. Connect this wire to the switch side of the ‘mirror up’ wire found and cut
in step 5.
BROWN – MIRROR ‘DOWN’ OUTPUT 2
a. Find and cut the ‘mirror down’ wire. This wire will read 12vdc when the
power mirror is being motored down. Once cut, connect the mirror side of
the cut wire to this Brown ‘Mirror Down Output’ wire.
ORANGE – MIRROR ‘DOWN’ INPUT
a. Connect this wire to the switch side of the ‘mirror down’ wire found and
cut in step 7
Ok so we will start with the reverse wire this is located in the passenger foot well shown below (bottom right connector Red and black in colour)

Once you have located this wire this needs to be joined to the purple [COLOR="Red"]DO NOT CUT[/COLOUR] you can use a scotch lock (even though i hate them in this instance it works very well)
then you need to locate the plug in the passenger side foot well this goes into the door and has the required wires to intercept the mirror signal

in this instance its a pink and green & pink and Black
once separated you then cut the wires and either attach a crimp or prep to solder

as shown the wires connect in the following order
Blue wire connects to the Pink& Black nearest connector
Brown Wire connects to the Green & Pink Nearest connector
Orange wire connects to the pink and black leading to rest of the loom
Green wire connects to the pink & Green leading to the rest of the loom
The remaining 3 cables need to be connected to a valid point for each if you have after-market equipment installed you will already have a 12v, ACC & Ground feed
there is a perfect location to hide the box in located to the left hand side of the glove box it can just sit in there, this allows easy access to tweak should it be required
programming of the unit
The way that the mirror tilt is engaged and bypassed can be changed through software
programming. The default mode, Mode 1, tilts the mirror down every time you put the
car in reverse for longer then 1 second. To bypass the tilt feature you must put the car in
reverse, quickly take it out of reverse, and then put it back in to reverse. Once bypassed,
the car will then have to be out of reverse for ~10 seconds before you can tilt the mirrors
again. Mode 1 is great for people who plan on tilting the mirror on a regular basis.
In Mode 2 the mirror tilt is bypassed when the transmission is placed in reverse for more
then 1 second. To tilt the mirrors you must put the transmission in reverse, quickly take
it out of reverse, and then put it back in to reverse. This mode is designed for people who
don’t need the mirrors tilted under most circumstances, but encounter situations where
the tilt is desired.
Programming is accomplished BEFORE the module is powered up. To select Mode 2
turn both adjustment knobs on the top of the unit to the complete counter clockwise
position. With both knobs fully adjusted plug the module in.
When the module first powers up it will check to see if both knobs are in the ‘programming’ position and will
store the programmed value in non-volatile EEProm memory.
To select Mode 1, before plugging the module in set both adjustment knobs on the top of
the unit to the full clockwise position. With both knobs fully adjusted plug the module
in. These modules are factory programmed to Mode 1 and programming is not required
if Mode 1 is to be used.
NOTE: If the module has already been powered up please unplug it, make the programming
adjustments and wait at least 30 seconds before plugging the module back in.
TUNING:
In order for this module to work properly it must be tuned for the car that it has been
installed in. This is done by adjusting the small knobs on the top of the module. There
are two knobs total, the left knob is the ‘Down Timer’ adjustment and the right knob is
the ‘Tweak Timer’ adjustment.
NOTE: It is important to park the car in a manner that mirror adjustments can be made. For this
reason it recommended (but not necessary) to park the car on a curb.
Tuning starts with the Down Timer knob. Turn the Down Timer knob all the way to the
clock wise position and adjust the Tweak Timer knob to 50% of its travel. As you turn the Down Timer knob in the counter-clockwise position you will add time to the down stroke of the mirror. Slowly increase this value, testing it after each adjustment.
Once the mirror tilts down the require amount the Down Timer tuning is complete. The Down Timer is fully adjustable between 0 and ~4 seconds.
NOTE: It may be necessary to reposition the mirror to its normal position occasionally during this
tuning step.
Next, the Tweak Timer must be tuned. While the Tweak Timer is set to 50% the mirror
will travel up the exact same amount of time that it traveled down. In most cases, this
will cause the mirror to not return to its exact original position. The Tweak Timer allows
for the mirror to travel up either shorter or longer then it traveled down. As the knob is
adjusted in the counter-clockwise position it will add up to ~1 total second to the up
travel time. As the knob is adjusted toward the clockwise position it will subtract up to
~1 total second of travel time.
Tilt the mirror 2-3 times and observe the position where the mirror returns. If it finishes
lower then it started turn the knob slightly counter-clockwise. If it finishes higher then it
started at turn the knob slightly clockwise and retest.
Tuning this system is critical to the overall accuracy of the module. If not tuned properly
it may be necessary to readjust the mirror after every tilting cycle. If tuned properly it
may still be necessary to slightly adjust the mirror, but not before a minimum of 10 tilting
cycles.
Please note that this is strictly a time based tilting system and it may be required to retune
the Down Timer if the mirror is adjusted to a new start position. This module is best
suited for a ‘one driver’ car where mirror adjustments are kept to a minimum. Once set,
the Tweak Timer shouldn’t need anymore adjustment unless the mirror motor is replaced
or the mirror motor starts to wear out.
OPERATION:
In ‘Mode 1’ the module will look for the transmission to be placed in reverse for longer
then 1 second. If this occurs the mirror will tilt down X amount of seconds (X = 0-6
seconds based on Down Timer). The mirror will stay tilted until the car has been shifted
out of reverse for ~10 consecutive seconds. At this point the mirror will move up X +/-
Y seconds (X =0-6 seconds based on Down Timer and Y=+/-0-1 second based on Tweak
Timer). If the ignition is turned off while the car is in reverse the module will still return
the mirror to the starting position. If the car is started in reverse the mirror will NOT tilt.
If the transmission is placed in reverse for less then 1 second and then placed back in
reverse within 1 second the mirror tilt cycle will be skipped. The transmission must stay
out of reverse for at least ten seconds before a new tilting cycle can be started. By
requiring the transmission to stay out of reverse for at least ten seconds it is possible to
parallel park without the mirrors tilting unintentionally.
In ‘Mode 2’ the engage and bypass features are reversed, meaning that the transmission
must be in reverse for less then one second and then placed back in reverse within 1
second in order for the mirrors to tilt. All other features are the same.
