Rash posted something about the part numbers on her the other day.

They have the power folding mirror option here in Germany as well. And the auto window up option. I took my AWD to the dealer here and the auto up option can't be programmed into the ECU. As for the part numbers. If nobody can get them by the time I make my next trip to the dealership, then I can have the service rep look them up.

I have both options in my IS, but I can only control roll up/down windows with my remote. How I can make my mirrors fold when I lock car?

Our parking spaces are generous enough that Lexus didn't think it was a necessary option. I lived in Singapore, where parking spaces are really tiny and shopping mall has 6 or 7 story parking lot, and I think every car, even my wife's lowly 1.4 L engine Nissan March had the folding mirrors.

They've had them since the late 80's. I have a pair on my 91 Integra.....well not on it but I have a pair that I'll install once I send the car to get painted.

This must be a custom job, I can only access the folding windows by a button inside the car.

Thanks for posting, but here is the fixed link:

Still not sure if this is the actual part, I need someone to confirm. I found the same parts in Sewell the other day, this makes me think it's not the right part.

Been wanting these for a while. Maybe I can find a salvaged 3GS and retrofit these on my mirrors.
