Electric folding mirrors
« on: 28 July 2015, 10:05:32 »

Just wondering if it would be possible to get the mirrors to fold
via electric motors or if anyone has done it on their omega  :y

No its a different motor the moves the whole mirror housing, seem to recall someone saying it was an option on the Omega in Sweden, Finland, somewhere up there, apart from that video Ive never seen them before.

So, good luck with that one, if your thinking of doing a retro fit.

The ones on my old Signum (half CAN car) had a motor positioned vertically that folded the mirrors in the  bit that stuck out the door.

BUT what it also had that you will need to get round is a 'door module' (drivers door module, DDM & passenger door module, PDM) that told the mirrors to fold when you held the lock button on the fob or pressed the mirror adjustment button on the drivers door card.

Also the passenger side mirror would dip to show the kerb when reverse was engaged.

The annoying bit was they only unfolded on pressing the button on the drivers door not when you unlocked the car.

So to do it on an Omega I'm guessing you neeed the motorised mirrors, loom, DDM & PDM, door switch and a bucket load of luck as chances are as t was only available in LHD the loom, switches and blind spot (and photochromatic) mirror will be wrong for a RHD car.

TL;DR

Not worth the hassle for any real gain

Mirrors and a single wire connection to each as the folding module in the mirror has the sensing, the you need the supporting door switch (there different to the Signum in operation so no modules required)

Think we had this topic last year and the consensus seemed to be that the mirrors don,t go in far enough to make it worth the hassle. Still, it,s up to you. :-\
