Nice effort.... but how do you enable the side camera? Or is it just ignored? There is a switch on the lower left of the steering as it comes from the factory so perhaps it is non functional on the swap you did.
We have the folding mirrors which we only use when on vacation, the side camera is very seldomly

Me and my wife just purchased a used 2010 RX350 couple months ago. It has Canadian touring package which includes Navigation and backup camera, but no HUD, parking sensors, auto folding mirror and ML sound system etc....
I have done some search in the forum and found that one of the member has done the auto folding mirror and parking assist mod. After few weeks of research I have decided to do it by myself.
The auto folding mirror swap is quite straight forward, pretty much plug and play. But parking assist is whole other story, I will share that later.
Here is for the auto folding mirror swap,
Tools I used:
1. Wrench socket set.
2. Screw driver.
3. Trim removal tool set. (I just purchased the 5 pieces plastic set, you should be able to find it in local auto parts store, ebay or amazon. It might not be the best trim removal tool, but it does the trick.)
Auto folding Mirror part #s:
87910‑0E021-?? RH mirror with auto folding
87910‑0E041-?? RH mirror with auto folding and camera (This is what I got as I am gonna add parking assist to my car)
87940‑0E021‑?? LH mirror with auto folding
84040‑0E020 Mirror switch with auto folding function button.
(The question mark above is for car's color)
The cost:
I got both mirrors and switch from oversea wreck yard. The parts cost me only about US$650, and I have to repaint the mirror, done it here in Canada, cost me CAD$150 for both side.
So the total roughly is US$800.
Below shows the cover you need to remove from the door panel to get access to the screws to be removed later.

I found mine on ebay. Just make sure the left side is designated driver or the mirrors will be wrong. Unless you already have a camera on the right mirror don't waste your money on one as your car will lack the camera harness.

Bumping since i'll probably end up doing this with the door speakers sometimes down the road. The door card and mirror disassembly are straightforward, as seen in this video. I'm not affiliated with Viktor, but his videos have helped me a ton when doing various jobs involving the RX350; worth a watch if you're unsure about removing the door card.
