bmw 2004 e46 Electric folding mirror Wiring problem!!!
I just bought sum genuine auto power folding mirrors but need to know what else is required. The mirrors were off a 2004 bmw saloon and so iz mine. I dont have electric/heated seats but just want the feature of folding the mirrors with the switch. I've noticed i do require the correct switch as the switch that i got iz for auto folding/memory switch (Purple back). Please Help:banghead:
Hi guys. Loved thouse and want some of these for my car in Sweden Where can i get them? And do i have pre installed wires on my E46 so it will be plug in and play or do i hav to make some things myself?
It quite hard & easy, you have to know more about electrical & electronics.
you need first ,change the old plug in to new electric fold mirror.
Then it have 3 extra wire for fold in/out mirror.
Connect these 3 to switch.
I 'm on going to do these , still wait the mirrors come in. Will write up with detail photo soon.
I buy new, ( after market ) heated, power adjust, fold folding, $100 Left, $155 right .

Dear all who were on this post Sorry that had not been here to answer questions of help needed. Family probs and redundancy if there is anyone out there who still need help on this feed let me know PM Me
1. Install mirrors and install the proper switch. Neither should require any special wiring
2. Code the car. Add option code 313 to your VO. Recode the general module
3. If you want them to fold by holding the lock button, go into your general module and set "KOMFORT_SCHLIESSUNG_FB" to "aktiv"
Last couple steps could be accomplished a couple ways. Easiest and cheapest way would be via NCS Expert.
If you want M3 mirrors, it's a little more complicated. You will have to transplant your ribbon adjustment motor into the M3 housing, and then connect the M3's folding motor to the 3 pin wire sticking off.
TerraPhantm, the main problem is I want to install M-style mirrors which are never been with ribbon connectors, just cable one. And my car support only ribbon connection. I'm trying to solve this issue (
And what can I do to activate option of power folding ?
