You can not do it the way you want with the e-brake. The reason is that as long as the e-brake is on, the relays are energized (hence draining your battery ). The only way you can do this is with a latching relay along with two other relays ( flip flop relay configuration ). I had the mirrors from a HDM Integra XSi that I put onto the Velocity Integra & I used two channels on my alarm to control the flip flop relays. I had the wires from the alarm set to latched and it worked like a charm.

would there be any way to wire them up to fold in when the car is armed and out when the car is disarmed? I ahve similar mirrors and I have a clifford arrow 3 alarm system I will be installing shortly. I would rather they not be on seprate channels but fold in and out with the alarm arming and disarming

thanks
