if anyone wants to know.. or for future reference...
the positive on the foldmotor goes to pin 6 on the top connector.. and the negative I have hooked upto the negative on the heated mirror..
all works ok..
now how to figure out the coding to activate it for the key

Add SA430 to your VO first then code TBFT and TMFT with NCS using the standard expert profile and a blank .MAN file.
Then using ether revtor or fisters profile, enable function BEIKLAPPEN_B_KORMFORTSHCL in the above 2 modules.

ah ok so yes a lot of work. might just get m5 manual mirrors then.
think i saw someone on the forums selling some sort of adapter to bypass all the extra wiring?

also if i buy a set of OEM auto fold mirrors made for post sept 05 (my model) and just change the guts from them into the likes of an NVD m5 replica, that should work without rewiring shouldn't it?
example: if i buy a pair of OEM auto fold mirrors from an E60 from 2006 which is being broken down for parts, will those mirrors be plug and play and i just need to code the folding from the fob?

any mirror that has more than one plug is from pre Sep 2005.
If you get post sep 2005 mirrors at a good price buy them. Then swap all the internals from your mirror into the ones you bought. Cut the folding motor and puddle light wires out and extend them into the plug that you will have transplanted from your mirror. I have done this so I know its possible.
