The unit I purchased is the AM089FR or 091FR - this model number is VITAL as it denotes the Ford Ranger multiplugs (the "FR" part).
DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER MODEL - CERTAINLY NOT THE AM089U (which is a universal unit).
The website is www.maxaudio.com.my

At time of publication the module was £26 and shipping was £15. Apologies, in the video there is a slight pricing mistake on the shipping.
More expensive models are available on ebay

For anyone coming across this, note that if you intend to have the locking tailgate mod as well, that you will use both the U+ and L+ for the tailgate mod. I suggest you plan to do both of these together to save yourself a bit of pain having to resplice and instead only do it once for both.
Will be doing the tailgate soon but from what I've researched it seems a much easier option to go to the fuelcap wires and piggy back there....
@@oscarthefuzz I hadn't come across that option when I did mine, but I suppose it should work, provided you can access the harness and wires away from the fuel cap. I wouldn't want to splice and solder near those rubber hoses or the fuel tank.
@@captainotto they make a kit that is a piggy back plug and play option, seems to be only available in Oz but I'll prob have to DIY it here....
@@oscarthefuzz Oh that’s cool. Yeah I would have preferred that to splicing and cutting the grommet for sure.
Although I have an MU-X this video was very helpful! Great video.
Great video bud :) I have a Toyota Fortuner, but your video explains why it all happens, so should be easy enough when I get to doing it myself :) Cheers, Don, Perth W.Australia (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Good video Dave; great 'how to' as usual mate
Thanks Jason. 👍
Hi, I wonder if you could help. I have cab fitted and wired all central locking etc, but can’t locate cable under driver side for back window heater. Any ideas?
This helped me with mine sooo much. Thank you.
Hi what’s the sensor called. Thank you
Really detailed vid.....well done!!
Cheers fella
Awesome video helped me out a lot thnx brother
Hi when you lock and unlock the car when driving does the mirror also fold/unfold?
No. You can still use the button for that in the cab though of you need to fold them in.
Where can I get the same module & wiring kit that you used for my 2019 ranger?? You explained the fitting perfectly
I'm not sure if the links work in the video, but if you want one similar from the UK, try Eagle4x4 and mention my channel/video. They may offer a small discount as part of the Ranger club. 😊
Didn't you order the kit somewhere in China?? Don't fancy paying fifty odd or sixty odd pounds & I don't mind waiting for it.
Yeah the link was in the description but it was a fair while back now, haven't checked recently if they're still available.
Very nice video I’ve got the same truck can you please give me the name of the module what I need is a where can I get it from please and a bit of a happy Christmas I’ll wait to hear from you my name is Allan thank you
Nice thanks for the Video mate very helpful Cheers👏👏💝
Hi, What happens if one locks the car doors whilst driving? will the mirrors fold in?
No they dont. I have auto lock turned on via ForScan. So when I go over 15mph my door lock anyway. 😉👍
Great video mate but just one question:
2:22 - Is it possible that changing the jumper setting alters whether the mirrors close on one or two locks of the key fob?
7:10 - This shows it's currently configured to fold in on one lock press.
The reason I ask is because I noticed my brother's Pajero has fold-in mirrors and you have to lock it a second time to fold the mirrors in (I'm guessing so it allows you to choose whether you want them folded in or not).
No, If i remember correctly, the jumper is for the internal button to function as well I think.
Which brackets are you using for your bonnet LEDs?
Some random ones off of ebay. Think they are called "bonnet work light brackets". They're just clamps with grub screw.
Hi, they don't fold in when the car auto locks when driving do they?
Haha no, that'd be stupid.
@@DetailingandtheBeast Okay thought so, that would be stupid...😂
Thank u very much
Awesome video again Dave, thx. Brought the kit from Eagle, followed your video, then found out I don't have a Purple/Green wire in my Ranger! Its a 2019 Wildtrak everything else is as it shows, do you know what (if its beenb updated/changed) the new wire colour is? Thx.
Hello, I have a Ranger Wildtrack from 2020 2l biturbo 213hp, I would like to order the module but have you found all the colors of the wires for assembly. Thank you
Nice thanks mate
Got the new version as you suggested but it's different. It comes with a plug and play connector for the lock/unlock cables. Again, no instructions included. I have no idea where these new central lock connectors are on the car. In the door maybe?
If you're on IG message me some pictures. I'll see if I can help. Chances are you'll just need to chop them
Hi, did you ever figure it out the install? Also, I noticed on the site that the AM091FR shows no wiring cutting, is this correct?
Pete Milliet nope because I'm not home right now. Will try in November.
@@TheSoundsRetreatLuxuryLodge I contacted the owner of the shop that you purchased it from and was told by him that the installation will require the door panels to be taken off and that it is all Plug n Play, no splicing of wires.
I fact as of today the AM-089FR is no longer available for purchase on their site only the AM-091FR, which is much more expensive.
@@TheSoundsRetreatLuxuryLodge
I've ordered and received the AM091FR and everything is as in the video - with the exception of additional plug and play black connectors that are are connected with black/silver wires (6) to each other and a set of a longer blue and green wires with male bayonet style ends that appear to connect with the wiring loom shown in the video. Unfortunately no clue as to how this extra component is used or not used in the installation process. Can you advise? This is going on a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT.
Great Video Dave ! Can I ask did you fit the light bar and the lights on the bonnet ? And did I notice extra puddle lights ?
Truck looks great Billy
Hey Billy. Yeah I fitted all the lights and bars myself. Puddle lights in the mirrors are factory fit but have been upgraded to LED. The running board lights are something I was working on a couple of years ago for sale, but the supplier went bust.
I'm planning a video around wiring in all sorts of ancillary lights, so stay tuned for that one. 😎👍

Hi Dave
If I want to buy the universal unfolding mirror module for my wildtrak 2020 model where can I buy it? I am in Namibia 🇳🇦
The link is in the video description. It's from the far east regardless. You'll just need to make sure that they ship to Namibia 👍
@@DetailingandtheBeast Thank, they do deliver to Namibia.
Hi Dave! Great video. Though I'm not sure whether to buy the AM-091FR or the AM-089FR. I'm guessing 091 for newer trucks (?) Don't really know. I have a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT.
Thanks, man!
I think since the video the model number has gone from the 89 to the 91. It's the "FR" that's the important bit as that denotes the connector blocks that it comes with.
Ok mate love the channel 👍
Are those links from Amazon still the right ones for the wing mirror! Could you put the right link if not mate
Cheers mate
I believe they're still the right ones. The listing should state the Rnager years on them 👍
👍
great video! how did you do the running board lights?
Bought some 1.9m tri colour led strips and wired them in!
Hey mate great video, I love your truck! Which one is it? The am blah blah or the 091fr? There are two ? Thanks
It was the am089fr, it's now the 091fr I believe. It's the FR bit that is important.
@@DetailingandtheBeast ok great thanks mate appreciate your help 👍
Awesome video.
Do you have trouble with vibration of the module rattling around at all?
No not at all. It's quite tight in there once everything is wedged back in. Cheers
@@DetailingandtheBeast awesome. Thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciate it.
You had any issues since you did the video just looking to buy one atm.
None at all. Still working faultlessly.
How do you fold the mirror when you don’t have a motor in them to fold them?
But there is a motor in them.... that's the whole point.
With your hand
Where is the Link for the module?
Keeps changing as time goes on, but this is a very similar module.
amzn.to/3xqPMP7
hey Dave , the model on the site is AM-091FR not AM089FR, is that right? thank you!!!
I'm sure it's the FR bit that's the important bit. I do have a direct link kn the description. Does that go to 091FR now??
Yes I used the link you put in but when I go to choose the model I find AM-091FR
@@marian75m just checked this out. Looks like the model is now the 091FR.
DaveCHCI 'Detailing and the Beast' thanks !!!!
Looks good !
Interested in the link ?
Would really like to see more about the running board lights too ??
The link is in the description. Use the bitly link as I'm pretty sure it defaults to the "FR" model.
The running board lights were a project about 2 year ago where I worked with an LED supplier but it didn't take off. They are a tri-colour strip at 1.9m linked to the courtesy lights and the indicators. I did start the project with the view to selling them but the costs just never worked out worthwhile.
DaveCHCI 'Detailing and the Beast' any chances of a quick video showing the running board lights ?
Interested to see how they look, where they’re mounted etc
Thought of doing something similar myself.....
Dave - any pointers on where to tap into the courtesy lights ?
Not so keen on the indicators but would like to extend the puddle lights to full length of the running boards.
Thanks in Advance
@@simonturner1349 yeah theres a wire in the loom behind the kick plate driverside footwell. Cant remember the colour off the top of my head but... I will go and check mine at some point for you. Probably be tomorrow now.
DaveCHCI 'Detailing and the Beast' thanks bud. You’re a true gent !

Did you figure this out?
No I haven't. I've put off installation until I get a better handle on what needs to be done.
Might be a new function or for another model, I'd just suck it and see by leaving the connectors out and tucked away.
@@polla2256 I've thought of that option. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the follow up.
How bout build a rain sensing?
Sorry not sure what you are asking
@@DetailingandtheBeast how to build the auto rain sensing wiper?
@@atominexw6874 ah ok I understand now. My Ranger already has auto sensing wipers so that wont be happening. 👍
@@DetailingandtheBeast mine was ranger XL 2018..
@@atominexw6874 I'm not 100% certain but is the sensor built into the rear view mirror. I'm certain the functionality could be turned on in ForScan.
it baffles me that Ford didn't include auto foloding mirrors as an option at the very least... especially on Lariat (US top trim model). Such a cheapo shortcut on Ford's end
An option would be a start. Most manufacturers it's standard by default. These units must be pennies to fit en-mass.
So I take it you have to fit some kind of motors to the mirrors first then this module will work? Where’s the video for doing that pls ?
Nope, motors are already there!
Detailing and the Beast - DaveCHCI I’m bit confused Dave mate , u say the motors are all ready there ? My car is a 2004 Nissan with mirrors I fold back manually with a clonk .. are u telling me there’s motors there to turn the whole unit in and out?
@@MrMagsimus I'm not trying to be funny but are you reading the video title? This is for a FORD RANGER... no where do I mention a Nissan.
Detailing and the Beast - DaveCHCI sorry mate I didn’t mean to do your head in lol ..I was just a bit confused thinking that any mirror could be motorised to fold with some kind of diy kit.. I was merely pointing out that mine was a Nissan , thanks for all your lovely messages and video ❤️❤️👍🇬🇧 I’m just a 55 year old fool having a mid life crisis and wanted folding mirrors on me old Nissan lol 😂😂😂 peace out brother 😎
@@MrMagsimus it may or may not be of help but..... Many models in manufacturers ranges share components, obviously saves them money. So like on Ford, Ranger shares a lot from the Everest. Why do I mention this? Well, the Ford Focus 2010 model, had some models ( Titanium) that had powered mirrors, these could be fitted retrospectively to any other lesser trim Focus, and even the Kuga, and the Mondeo.
So what I'm saying is... you might find that other models may have a powered mirror in the same casing as yours. Might be worth investigating. Then it's just a case of fitting those and getting a universal version of the module discussed in this video.
