Recently took on the install for the auto mirror folding module.
I purchased the module from: US $30.99 |Aliexpress.com : Buy Car Side Mirror Folder Folding Spread Kit For Infiniti FX35 With Electric Folding function+Free Shipping from Reliable kit kits suppliers on GZ WinsGo
The cost was: $31
Install time: 1-2 hours.
The module enables the mirrors to auto fold when pressing the lock button on the keyfob. The module comes with a T harness that connects to the existing mirror control switch to the left of the steering. All functionality is retained and you can still close and open the windows using the switch, but with this module additionally, you can close or open the mirrors automatically.
First I'd like to give credit to this post because it saved me some time in finding the door lock and unlock wires from the BCM. I am going to add a few additional points of clarification that I believe are helpful to know.
1. Instructions that come with the device and the device itself. All that is required is to connect the harness and connect three wires( 12v constant from the fuse box, lock and unlock signal from the BCM).
2.The install. This module is installed under the driver steering column. You will need to remove the 10mm screws that hold the hood release latch and then pry away the cover under the steering column in the areas marked with the red arrows in the picture attached.
3. You then need to gain access to the wires by the fuse box, by removing the door sill and the kick plate cover by the dead peddle.
4. Disconnect the brown harness from the mirror switch and plug in the supplied T harness from the roll-up module.
5. Now comes the wiring for the three wires. The first wire is the Red wire from the roll up module. Connect the red wire to the green 12v constant wire in the fuse box. I am reusing an older photo of the fuse box but you want the green 12v wire here to connect to the red wire.
6.Next, you will need to run a wire two wires to the BCM which is located in the PASSENGER side kickplate same location as the fuse box on the drivers' side but on the passenger side. You will need to remove the door sill and the kick plate on the passenger side the same way that was done on the drivers' side. This is going to be the input for the door lock and unlock signal.
You will want to connect the door lock wire which is pink on the window roll up module to the violet wire at the top harness of the bcm and the orange unlock wire to the green wire at the top of the bcm.
Lock- pink-violet(BCM)
unlock-orange-green(BCM)
Here is the wire I ran from the driver side to the passenger side to get to the BCM.
7. Technically you are done now, but ran an additional switch in parallel to the 12v wire that comes from the fuse box in case I want to disable the mirrors from folding automatically for any reason I can just hit this switch and this module will not have power. I installed the switch in a hole underneath the steering column.
