Hello,

I have a pre-LCI with auto-dim and heated side mirrors. NO auto-fold. Can you retrofit an OEM M5 mirror with heated glass, auto-dim, and auto-fold? Has anybody here done it?

Thanks!

Yes.

(anybody else like my short answers? )

Oh, the folding will have to be coded though since it's not part of your car right now.

balbs

Sweet! I'll dig around for part numbers and DIY links...If I get around to it I'll contact you Simon.

Oh...I think member Blood did it but his is a UK car so I'll see.

Is auto dip the same as auto fold?

No.

Yes, I've done this mod more than 3 years ago.

But no the the folding will not just simply automagically work by installing the switch on the door panel instead it needs coding.

Nice! My single word answers are catching on, lol.

Balbs, I recently just enabled it for RedEyeJedi. His car is a 2004, so if I can do it for his, your's would be a piece of pie.

balbs

HA HA! Yeah, I knew that there would be coding involved in the end. I'm trying to get a feel of what else was involved as far as hardware. What's auto dip anyway?

nomis_nehc

When you reverse and the passenger mirror go down... as it sounds, lol.

Hmmm...here's realoem's description for the left and right mirror

For vehicles with
Interior/outside mirror with auto dip
S430A=Yes
01 Outside mirror M w/o glass,primed,left M 1 09/2008 03/2010 51168046639 ENDED
01 Outside mirror M w/o glass,primed,righ M 1 09/2008 03/2010 51168046640 ENDED

I spec'd it out for the US left hand drive. If auto dip was for the reverse, it wouldn't dip for the left mirror on LHD cars.
