Hi guys does anyone know if you can set the wing mirrors to close when I lock car then open when car unlocked. car is B7 S4 Cab.

Thanks

You'd need to find out if there is a B7 with eletric folding mirrors, and if they'll fit your car (Better if it's from a Cab, obviously). Pretty sure the Audi alarm won't have the required to fold them, so will probably need to put a Clifford alarm on too. I'd imagine the total cost to be £100 to £150 for the folding mirror bases, and about £400 for the alarm.

Phil mine has electric folding mirrors but just can not seem to set it, In the manual there is a mention of set up with memory seats but still can not get working that way either.

Usually the mirrors can be folded by rotating the adjustment knob through 180%.

Phil they work fine with rotating knob but wanted to know if to work with remote control. ie Lock car mirrors close, unlock car mirros open.

we did a mod on a Mitsubishi GTO to achieve the same thing, took an output from both the lock and unlock pulses from the alarm to the central locking and just wired them straight into the switch for the mirrors, piece of cake, i think we looked at putting a timer in there too but fortunately there was enough of a pulse to get the mirrors fully folded without needing to extend the pulse time. lock the car, mirrors fold, unlock, mirrors unfold.

Thanks dave could you do the work How much? - going to wakefield in next few weeks so could easily pop in. Or could any auto electrician do?

Thanks exactly what I am looking for!

i'd have to check the wiring diagrams, it wasn't too difficult, see what i can do as i'm working in Barcelona next week and still got this poxy garden wall to finish
