Hihihi Eugene,

I don't think that is so easy to do how you write it.

The button on the steeringwheelside is only conect with the left-side, for the right side to autofold you need module's and program that as for an car with autofold features.

The headunit from the car does not now that are autofolding mirrors are fitted and modules, you muss tell the car that i think ;-)

You muss now one idiot is a specialist in programming with the GT1 and OPS, the yellow head and the orange head.
Than i believe it muss be work.


Regards,

Don't forget the 2008 has the autofold feature compared to 2004-2007 does not in the US. If someone can figure out how to enable the fold feature in the USA then A lot of people would be real happy.
