Interested in the auto mirror folding, but can it be done/programmed in such a way that the mirrors fold in when you lock the car, but don't fold out when you unlock it, but rather when you start the engine?

And is there a simple mod to make the passenger window one-touch up and down?

the kit as standard only allows for it to fold in and will only fold out when the car is started/acc

i made an alternative version that folded out on unlock so i could see if the car was locked or unlocked from a distance

as for the windows its not the easiest thing in the world to do but there are ways to make it one touch depending on your level of electronics and wiring

Oh, so as standard it's exactly as I want - good to know!


As for my competence of wiring and electronics - umm... I'd call it incompetence!

I'd like this kit too! But I wouldn't even attempt to wire anything in. I think I was reading through a post only yesterday about Rabsters IS, did you have a red one? I was amazed by the gadgets added to it! Wow was all I could think, brought right up to date with all the little gadgets.
