Automatic Folding Mirrors for 370?

[Scottish_Zed]

I've had my Zed for about 6 months now, and have noticed occasionally that the mirrors seem as if they are attempting to fold outwards when I start the car. They have never folded in the way, but I was wondering if they should have, and perhaps this was something that I haven't been anywhere of.

 

Can anyone confirm if they should have been? And this is something I need to get fixed?

The folding mirrors is an additional mod which Flyboy ( Martin ) makes the kits for. They are simple to fit and come with a good set of instructions how to fit.

Maybe yours has had this fitted in the past and one of the wires has come off.

If you remove the window switches in the driver door and can see some extra wiring that has been added, then you probably have it.

^^ As Steve said, check if your zed has this kit fitter or not? Link to Flyboy's kit --> http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/66311-flyboy-mirror-auto-fold-module-now-back-in-stock-2015/page__st__20

Guys, the OP is asking about the 370.

 

Not heard of a successful kit yet for the 370 - flyboy has tried though as you will see in post 251 here onwards:

Would be good if someone has heard of an aftermarket fix

Sorry Colin and OP for the confusion.

I must read which forum its posted in in future

Maybe 370 could be added in the thread title

I'm a bit confused as to what your saying

Mine do what your saying on start up sometimes

 

I don't understand the folding in bit

Are you saying they don't fold in when you press the button ?

[flyboy]

The mirrors on a 370 work on canban signals there

is no kit available for an automatic fold on lock

I don't think it's possible without a rewire to both mirrors and as such is not practical

[Adrian@TORQEN]

There is a kit for the GT-R, wonder if it's not the same principle, Martin. Worth investigating this? I have it on my car.

When I was looking at doing a kit for the 370 I found that the GTR has gone back to the principles of the 350 with a set of relays and timers to control the movement.

That's why its possible on the GTR .

 

On the 370 coded signals are running up and down a 2 wire control loom back and forth to the bcm.

I cant hack this to do a mirror mod

 

I took out a bunch of fuses when trying and nearly had a big repair bill on my car.

Oh, well, I guess that concludes the story Thread closed

[flyboy]

Send me your module though and ill copy it for a lot less than £155.

Probably less than half that.

Nooooo was hoping this could be done some bellend has just clipped my mirror luckily only the glass cracked still adjusts and retracts

Thanks lads, just wasn't sure if this was something that may not have been working properly. Not had it for a while

Hi guys, has there been any progress on this? I have a 2017 370z Nismo. I always want to good my mirrors, however if I press the button before switching off the car then I can't see if there are cars coming before I open the door. Big bug bear.  My nissan Micra courtesy car had auto folding mirrors. Embarrassing.

[nissanjuke]

looking for that myself.especially good when in car parks

[Cray Z]

Spoke to Nissan about this today (Parts Department) and was told this is something that should be programmable from the Key/Ecu Menus.   At least it was on his 2013 Qashqui, I was told to consult the user manual and then if it looks likely book it into the service dept.  I looked at the manual and it does mention Remote fold, but says ignition must be on or ACC so doesn't make sense on how that is remote lol!

 

I have the car booked in for other stuff on Friday next week so will ask then.  I mean the new micra has them FFS!

[nissanjuke]

it does not sound right, my car is a 2009 model gt, and it does not have auto folding mirrors  

[Cray Z]

I Also had a look at this http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/312473-folding-mirror-kit-group-buy-3.html and called the guy who deals with it, his name is Sly Kaiser, he said he doesn't do one for a 370z but is sure he could make it work if he had a car.

 

Any volunteers in Kent??

 

Let me check with Nissan on Friday (if its something configurable and easy), however, i have a feeling it won't be that simple if the newer GTR's don't have it.  If this is not an option then lets pursue the option above. its not cheap, but i think worth it.

Just picking up on this old topic.

 

Can anyone explain why exactly the auto fold mirrors widget (Flyboy etc) that works so well on the 350z doesn't function on the 370z. I know it's to do with the CANBUS system, which I've read a bit about but still can't see why it couldn't be made to work.

 

I have a suitable ebay widget boxt that I got when the Flyboy sets weren't available last summer, but before I waste my time I wanted to ask the wise about it.

 

Thanks
