Thanks for the detailed install method
I have wired everything but not had it coded yet but the drivers side up and down moves the mirror left to right and vice versa. The passenger side only moves down and outward only. Do you think the coding will resolve this or do you think i have a faulty set of mirrors or maybe even just passenger one.
I just bought them for a small fortune and trying to find out if i need to return them.
The mirrors were from a 535d m sport 2006 and i have a 520d m sport sept 2007
Any advice is much appreciated
Thanks

I would like to use the existing 4 wire plug. Can you tell me where they are routex to on the KGM
Thanks
Thanks
So day two of this DIY and I am now at the coding stage (in between the rain and i also fitted my condensation sensor at the same time) and I am very pleased to say I now have Power folding mirrors with auto dim, got to say a big thank you to Blood as I would have never attempted this without Bloods DIY
also got the kerb function working, only thing i cant get working is the puddle light i have added SA536 and coded the KGM.
I will post some pictures later of stages and tips I thought might add to Bloods DIY
Also got to say that Bruce's idea of using the existing passenger wires worked a treat and helps save time on a already big job.
Now just need to get my glovebox In and tidy up and it's finshed
If it ever stops raining

I got that side sorted by moving ground wire to point on door
I have coded them now using instructions from youtube video but they wont fold.
I am wondering if i have been sold non auto folding mirrors, they do have three wires brown green and red as far as i know that is auto fold wiring.
I was under the impression as they use a motor i couldnt just manually fold in the mirrors but i can just like my old ones

So far I've had three different sets of mirrors on my 2006., and they all had three wires.
1. Non-folding, no light package
2. Folding, dimming, no light package
3. M5 (folding, dimming, light package)
