Just a quick question about the X factor auto folding mirrors control box. Has anyone tried fitting the OEM folding mirrors with the X Factor folding mirrors control box?. I think it should work as the electircal system is based on relays within the car.

Just looking for some feed back, because I plan to try it soon.

Buy one and try, then report back?
I don't think anyone has... .

I don't see why they wouldn't.

The OEM mirror will probably have 5 wires or more.

3 of those will be for the adjustment of the mirror itself with at least 2 more for the folding signal.

Just get these 2 wires hooked up to the wire which sends the folding signal for the X-Factor one and ground the other one then test.

The OEM from 2011 has five, though I think the OEM from 2012 may have 6 because they may inlude a demister similar to the x factor mirrors.

I will test when I get a chance, and post if it does. I have all the components just need to put them in.
