If they are ground triggered, you can just wire into the switch inside the car that you push to fold and open them. You'd use "ground when armed" wire to close them and probably split and diode your unlock wire so that when you disarm the alarm (unlocking the doors) will power flip the mirrors open again.

Keep in mind, if you need the key in the ignition in order to operate the mirrors, then this will not work and you'd have to wire in a relay to CONSTANT power so that you can have this function without the key in the ignition.

Good luck!

yeah i'll check later if they get constant power.

another thing is they are on a 3 way switch though the middle position doesn't seem to do anything.

but i might change that if i have to
