Very interested in the mirror gadget, but how does it work? I don't recall my mirrors having motors built in. Is the motor present in the 4 trim?? Or am I just missing something? Galaxy Nexus ? 2
I believe this is a mod for those that already have power folding mirrors. Which all of us in the North America market are unfortunate enough to not have.
Hi Nel, I am surprised that there is no power folding mirrors in US Prius C. Our Hong Kong version is just same as Japan version, come with power folding mirror. So just add the kit then it will cope with the power folding mirror while your lock/unlock the car. If you don't have the motor in the mirror, I'm sorry to tell you cannot add the kit.
That's wonder how it works too specially the lock that prevent the mirror to no be fold/unfold loose like crazy.
Cool to have, but not sure how useful it is. The main reason I like folding side mirrors is so that I can squeeze through a tight spot. Do auto folding work while driving?
Somewhere I saw a car that had both folding like this and adjustable height suspension that would lower the frame almost to the ground when it was shut off. It made the car look almost like it was sleeping when it was off. It would be amusing to see a car "wake up" by raising off the ground, unfolding its mirrors, and running the LED lights like what's in the video in the original post.
Is there any word about ordering the lights. I found a website, in Japanese, but they deliver by courier and that won't exactly work trying to get it state side.
