All you need is the new switch, actuator motors, new mirror frames, and connector wires. You could just buy the switch and the whole mirror assembly with everything already there but it’s not cheap. I took a chance and bought the individual parts off eBay... connected them up and everything works! Total cost was $280. Pics of the parts below.
I know I don’t really need this and my money can be better spent on other mods... but I have a base model 2014 GX and there are some convenience things that I miss from my previous car (2011 BMW X5).
Question for folks that have this feature; is it by design that the fold and unfold buttons don’t work when the car is completely off? You have to switch the car on to accessory or above to work? I guess eventually I’ll look into those aftermarket modules to have auto folding mirrors anyways. But next up is park assist!
OP, thanks for the thread on this. I'm trying to do some research into my options for retrofitting this into my 2021 GX460 premium. Unfortunately my production date was before 10/2020 so power folding mirrors weren't included in the Premium trim yet. I purchased the switch and actuators from Acrad's aliexpress link and waiting for them to come in. I'm just wondering if I can use the oem mirror frames to fit these motors in or I will need to purchase the new frames in your picture. If so would you be able to provide part numbers for those frames?
if you are willing to buy the mirrors with the motors in them then all you need are those mirrors plus the switch.
the interior switch
the mirrors with the motors already installed.
Thanks for posting. I am about to pull the trigger on this. Can you provide the part numbers for the mirrors you purchased? I want to get a reference for my model year. Also how does the wiring go?

I just got a 2021. I was doing some research and found 8794060P60 and 8791060P60. Wondering if these are the ones you went with?
Thanks
I have a 2011 so the part numbers are different. The part numbers you listed should be the right ones. These are for the power folding but non-camera mirrors. If that's what you want then I think they will work just fine. I use OEMvehicleparts for my parts. They are usually cheapest.
Here is a picture of the wire that gets plugged into the small computer from the mirror once the door panel is removed.

Thanks for the help! Did you end up using the auto folding OBD module as well?
What part number is this? I have non-power fold s on my 2013 and it is not equipped with the power folding ones. I’m assuming this is the mirror frame but need a part number. Thanks.
I have a couple spare folding motors I purchased off of Aliexpress just for backup in case they fail in future. They are pretty cheap at around $30 each there.

That is what I’m wondering. I have the motors and the obd plug in thing on order. Need to order the switch still but the frames I don’t see anywhere. Thanks.
