Auto Folding Mirrors Rx400H

[priusfan]

Bonjour from France

I come here to share my experience with auto folding mirrors on RX400H MY2008.

I bougth a pair of Po-40 in Australia from Michael aka Ashpoint (details in this discussion)

I saw a old document explaining how to do it on RX300 and decided to take the risk...

To make it short:

it works perfectly,

to install the driver door: 25 minutes (45 for the first time on passenger door).

the document for RX300 was usefull : no diff compared with RX400H, but there is an important missing info in this doc: where to attach the black wire...

here are some pictures showing details

3)remove screw 1


4)remove screw behind door handle


5) unclip all around the door


6) remove the panel, detach all connectors.



7) lock connector: connect on red & white wires the blue and white wires from po-40


8) armrest connector
a) attach red wire to big green wire (+ Batt)
B) attach orange wire on orange wire (+ acc)
c) attach black wire on big white/black wire (ground)
left side:

right side:


9) on the cable from the side mirror,
cut green & blue wires and solder them like on next pict:


10) I used some scratchy thing to fix the po-40




11) and here is the final install

(of course I attached cleanly all the wires)

of course I attached cleanly all the wires.

Now, when I lock the doors, the mirror are folding

and they unfold when unlocking.

et voila...

Nice job and thanks for the writeup. I honestly did not know those mirrors existed!

that is fantastic, so how much do they cost?

About the cost: contact Michael here: MichaelR@ashpoint.com.au

He is a nice guy and he can assist in case of trouble.

ps: I would bet a pack of beer it works exactly the same on RX330.
