I do have the auto dim interior mirror but did not put it in yet. However the door mirror the it fitted has auto dim glass, it just does not dim. I coded 430

 

Ok, but the autofold works fine anyway?

I haven't bodered with fitting my new panel with auto fold button, since I've been missing the interior auto dim mirror, but now I might aswell just fit it and do the coding.

 

It works like a charm. I also have replaced the switch and coded remote folding. I already had lighting package and curb functionality in reverse, they are also working fine. In short no functionality missing only added folding.

 

Sounds good, thanks.

 

Hi all!
I don't know if this question is silly but I'm going to ask it anyway:
Does all this stuff in this great mirrors thread apply to aftermarket mirrors too?

I can get a pair of brand new mirrors for the half of the price of the cheapest OEMs I could find.

 

I have retrofitted SA430 mirrors today.
It was Plug 'n' Play with some coding. (Half an hour job)
So, anyone who has post 9/2005 vehicle equipped with memory package, and electrochrome interior mirror can simply swap the mirrors, do some coding (Adding $430 to VO in CAS and LMA and then enable ABKLAPPEN function in KGM) and have their awesome power folding mirrors!!

 

Congrats BeeMWe60. So did you use oem mirrors or aftermarket ones?

 

Well, I was tempted to go with aftermarket ones (because of the M5 look), but I've managed to make a very good deal on the pair of OEMs on Ebay.
Plus, the wiring on aftermarket mirrors is crazy, bunch of wires coming out of them so I don't think I'd even give it a try with my knowledge in electrics.

 

I understand this topic was last updated years ago but maybe someone can help me out here -
I have been looking for e61 525i for a while and finally found one. Unfortunately it does not have folding mirrors nor memory seats. It was manufactured on 2005-05-13, has 431 Interior Rr Vw Mirror W Aut Anti-d also but memory seats were not fitted. How much of a pain is it going to be to fit auto folding mirrors? Having auto dimming ones would be great too but I do not expect that much really.
Any info would be great.
Thank you,

 

JUst to revive an old thread.


I retrofitted the LCI Mirrors based on Blood DIY, including running new 2 wires through the door to KGM (I didn't remember bruce's suggestion). then I also coded $430 to the car, which was 06 525i with VO #0905.


Now only the driver side works including auto fold, mirror adjustment and auto dim (not sure on the heat part though I bought mirrors with heat).


Passenger side does not work AT ALL which leads me to either (I) ground is not proper or (ii) I messed the LIN and Positive during the door wires feeding. Would this fry the module in the mirror by any chance?
