Lightbulb Auto #folding #mirrors

Done few research on that and tried few things in the past, finally found this little add-on while I was traveling in China for business. It works! Also come with few extra functions such as windows up doing locking, auto door locks after parking (optional. default setting is disabled), flash lights when door opens, etc.

I know the mirrors power fold on mine, but is there a way to get them to fold when I lock the car. Or is this the device that makes it do that. I have a 2018 if that makes a difference.

Cool. Curious to see how invasive the wire taps are on this module.

I found this on the chinese website and it said GX460 on the listing but it doesn't look like the one in the OP's picture.
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...7b&abbucket=13

I also saw the one looks like the OP but for Toyota and it's plug and play into ODB port.
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...=3255344337943

This one is for the Prado version and has many different features. The cost is depended on how many features you want

I'm asking my coworker in Shanghai to check on it LOL

While we are waiting for hzhao to give us more info on which unit he got and if it's plug and play, I got some words back from the seller through my friend regarding the model below
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...7b&abbucket=13

It plugs into ODB, it has another wiring module that run from the unit to the side mirror control on the left of the steering wheel. You unplug the module for the mirror control, plug this wire into that, then plug the original module into another connector on the wire - just like an inline connector.

Here's an unit for the RX - different then GX but it has a video showing the installation which I think will be similar.
https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...fbd&abbucket=5

The price is roughly $60 and fit GX460 10-17.

hzhao, the link to the video is "unavailable". Can you recheck?

I also found a link on ebay for the land cruiser
https://www.ebay.com/itm/for-10-15-L...-/121905301890

Also here's a better picture of the modules and inline connectors for a Lexus CT200 but it should be similar
