You're an absolute legend mate. People like you make the world worth living in. Free advice and help is invaluable especially when most of us HAVE to do this ourselves as it all costs so much these days. Can't thank you enough.
Cowabunga thank you. Did mine today I have no experience of electrics. For any other newbies there is a small button next to the electric blocks to help pull them out. Well worth you tubing how to use a quick splice connector. Overall very happy with the mirrors auto folding. Next task for me using the Cowabunga short shift install. Cheers Guys!
Thank you, I bought the module and I’ve just install it in my type S and I follow you instructions which works out perfect. The instruction manual that come with it if I had use it I wouldn’t know where to start. Thanks again you make things fun more than an headache. 👏🏾
I guess Im randomly asking but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any help you can give me!
@Creed Tatum thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Took a look at the instructions while doing it, I even took the passenger door off to begin with sigh. Been looking for this video since then to sort it tomorrow, thanks for being a Hero the world needs.
Thank you for posting this I have been looking for this for a good while now I dont have the FN2 type-r but the normal 5 door which I know will work just the same and I have just bought unit and have to wait till it comes in but it will be worth the wait again thanks its really appreciated 👍👍👊
My unit has just come in today and it took me roughly 20-30mins to fit it and it works an absolute treat cant thank you enough although its went up in price at the end of the day its well worth it 👍👊
Thanks for tip. It was really helpful! I had no idea which wire connect to other wire. The diagram was shit! Your tip is way better. 👍 I installed this on my 2015 Honda Crv. 😁
Fitted mine today after watching your video. Would have struggled without it the instructions were shite. Thought I’d messed up at one point, sat the door card back on and shut the door to try it and nothing happened. Door didn’t even lock. Turns out I didn’t push the top right connector back into the door after splicing the wires. Works a treat now tho. Cheers pal
Top job mate, just did it on my fn. Like You said 15 minutes job, thx to your tutorial. I have something for You guys. Bootlid shocks upgraded for Merc ML mk1 (W164). Cost 15 quid, fits perfect, just push the button an lid goes up itself. Cheers.
@@CowabungaCarDiaries I've also installed rearview camera, bought DRL lamps that go with turn signal, and I would really like to install some kind of follow me home system, that would be a chery on the top! Who knows, maybe you'll do another tutorial :)
Awesome video bud but my mirrors fold in when I unlock the car and fold out when I lock it but followed your tutorial exactly ..... any advice is really appreciated
Hi I've just watched your excellent video on fitting remote mirrors folding! I'm about to do something while I do the remote job and what it is I've discovered that my driver side mirror isn't a power folding one as previous owner has skimmed on replacement Anyway I got a power folding on eBay and the mirror case (body) is broke I was wondering I could replace the iners from old non power to the power folding mirror???? Have you ever done this before? Looks like it might be possible to transplant unbroken body Do you know if they use same bodies can you help? Appreciate it thankyou
Hi. I did all the conections with the module on my civic and it works but only a half. When i close the car the mirror works but when i open dont. Maybe u know whats the problem cause i did all your steps.
Hello, thanks for the guide. trying my luck, not sure whether I would receive a response considering 3 years after you uploaded the video. I have a Honda Insight, it's the same thing however, the mirror positioning controls and the button for folding the mirror control are next to the steering wheel. is there any wiring diagram that I can use to splice the cables within the door, as that signal must be somehow sent to the mirror to fold. Thanks in advance.
I have an 09 accord EX with Power Folding Mirrors (AfterMarket) & the exact same module but mines from china ! I have the folding mirrors button But ! The mirrors dont fold I will purchase this and see If it works... Also mine doesnt have the gray wire attached to it but i will see if it works...... It might be a faulty module because mine clicks once in a while but does nothing ! Having trouble with this we just have different color wires but still the same functions ! Hopefully this works !
Quick question, please and thanks.... If buying this module, and the mirrors currently don't work properly (although they are powerfold, I think they have the issue where the existing stock module breaks), does this module mean I wouldn't need to also buy a replacement for the original module?
Usually it’s the sod modules that die inside the mirror. So no, Super easy to replace, one in each mirror. They cost £15 per unit or you can soldering iron just to replace the just the SOD which are like £2 each.
I know this is an old video but I only bought a Honda Civic recently, my driver's door wing mirror works by pushing the inside button but the passenger side doesn't so, will this wiring loom work for the passenger side too? TIA
Mate, I’m doing mine exactly the same way you show, done it twice following step by step, and it’s easy, but still... The module looks the same but it’s from AliExpress and the labels in Chinese.... may be faulty or for different car... When installed, every door control stop working... type R model
@@CowabungaCarDiaries keep up with the videos man!! They’re entertaining and useful!! Everybody else avoid the Aliexpress module that looks the same as this! Bests!
Just received the exact same module from AliExpress who say it’s compatible with my 2013 Accord. Can’t work out which wire goes to which, colours don’t seem to match up to Civic. Any advice guys?
You need folding mirrors already. This will do nothing if you have no motors already in them. The idea is, on GT models there is a button on the inside to fold the mirrors, this module allows them to fold automatically when the car is locked
After watching this and my module coming today, I've decided I'm not going to touch it lmao. Jesus Christ! It said "plug and play", is it fuck!. It was alright until it got to the splicing into random cables on the door, I can't imagine having that all done then the cables coming undone and not being able to get the doors undone.
Don’t the wing mirrors fold oem if you press and hold the key fob lock for 5 seconds (GT model)? Press once for lock, press and hold 5 seconds and wing mirrors fold as well?
Hi everyone I just want to ask have anyone try changing non electric folding wing mirror to electric folding mirrors cant find any vid of it if anyone try did it plz help on a fn2 type r
@@CowabungaCarDiaries alright that's fine I've done some research there are some modules that have been made to have program options based on how many times you press the windows open button it beeps. Cheers
Quick question when your inside and you go to unlock your car door via the pull tab mine doesn't work but it can lock via the pull tab. The door control does work if you push the button. Is this the same with yours?
@@CowabungaCarDiaries thanks for the speedy reply Mr.Bunga found out I didn't hook the metal lock cable properly. Nate I hope your enjoying your S2000! Looks wickid
Hi. I just fitted this kit and did what was said. But now my mirrors won't fold in with the switch instead also doesn't fold or unfold. Any suggestions. Thanks Nick
@@CowabungaCarDiaries Hi Cowabunga can you please send me a link to getting the module for Honda civic type R GT FN2 I know that it's been a while since you did the video but I should be able to get it from somewhere you guys got it from eBay have you got item no or details I can type in keep up the great videos their my first stop as you know your stuff cheers
@@CowabungaCarDiaries Thanks for getting back to me with info I've looked everywhere and no joy Alli express was only one I hadn't tried thanks again bud
I come to realise you can’t retrofit this if you haven’t got the actual wires connecting to the wing mirrors. 9 wires is power folding and 7 is non power folding. 9 wires is needed on either side of the connectors where you connect the wing mirror and the power folding
