2016 Silverado LT - Fold Your DL3 Mirrors with your FOB like an LTZ&#3

[Sidewayz]

Activated the feature and never knew I even had it!

Nice! This mod would be for us LT/SLE owners that don't have the Power Fold from the Key Fob feature.

There's no way to turn off the powerfold if you add the module correct?

I am still trying to understand the operations of this fold module. At the same time, it seems that the factory fold switch has, what appears to be different modes of operation. Open/Close/maybe an "off" mode.

 

The aftermarket module will not auto fold if the mirrors are in the "off/closed" position when imitated by the factory button.

 

Still learning the quirks.

I'm wondering about applications in icy climates, where the mirrors might be folded at lock. and then when you go to unlock, what happens if the mirrors are frozen closed?

Alexantics would be able to assist with that as he had issues I believe in the snow this Winter.

 

I would think that if they are frozen stuck, the fold motor would have a sensor to detect the force and stop. But I am not sure.

Correct, by habit now I folded my mirrors when I parked and went snowboarding. after a long day and a lot of snow fall I got back to my truck and hit the fold button they tried to move for a brief second then stopped. I had to remove a few inch's of snow and ice before they would unfold. If you are in an icy or snow climate I would recommend leaving the mirrors open in the driving position.

right, so unless this module has some sort of anti-resistance feature, it might not be the best for colder climates?

Correct. Unless the Factory fold button has an "off" mode. If you select to control the left mirror, the left mirror button led lights up indicating you have control. Same goes for the right side. When you hit the fold button at that time, nothing happens. It seems that there is either a delay OR it's in a "off" state. Still messing with it.

Just some more feedback on the Mirror Fold Module:

 

I swapped out my LT Headlights for LTZ Headlights. The Fold Module starting acting weird. They would perform the fold actions backwards. I would press the lock on the FOB, the mirrors would unfold. I press the unlock, they would fold in. LOL.

 

After about a day, they seem the fold correctly now. Maybe this was just a strange anomaly. I also found it acted weird at night...Maybe because of how the headlight turn signal would flash, the switchback to white and stay one.

 

Anyhow - the module appears to be working normal so far.

Looking to see if there would be an interest for those that would like to have this feature? If I get enough of an interest, I might look at sourcing modules and making this as close as "Plug and Play" as possible.

i would love to be able to do this but would probably only do it if it was plug and play

I can make this Plug and Play with the exception of you inserting (1) pre-terminated pin into the X500 Door Hinge Connector. Everything else is Plug and Play.

This picture shows 2 wires, but only needing to land 1 wire.

Would be provided in the kit. It would connect into the X7 Slot in the X61A Junction Box like this.
