I am trying to do the following on a 1990 Toyota MR2 G-Limited Import:

I am trying to wire up the wing mirrors so that when i lock the doors (which are remote locked) the wing mirrors automatically fold in and unlock they fold back out...but i dont want them to fold in when the car autolocks when it gets up to speed....

At the moment they have a button that needs to be pressed before you get out the car which can get rather annoying...

I cant seem to work out what combination of relay and resistors/capacitors i need and how it should be wired.

Any help on this matter would be grately appreciated

Chris

Do you press the button and hold it while the mirror folds and Unfolds?

or do you just push it once and let go?

Hook up 2 relays to do the job. One to lock and one to unlock.
