Side mirrors

[bigpitty1]

I was lookin at a few FTO's on this web site www.myfto.co.uk, and they had Retractable Remote Control Side Mirrors, does any one have these on their FTO, and what does it do.

The side mirrors fold up towards the body of the car to make it easier to park in tight Japanese parking spots... remote probably refers to the fact that the owners have connected them to their central locking so they fold in automaticaly, rather than needing to push the button in the car.

I think some of these can auto-retract when the central locking kicks in. Not sure if this is factory option though. Im pretty sure there is a guide out there showing how to do this because I remember seeing something on it.

Aha, here it is:
