Do the wing mirrors fold in?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

For anyone who has their car already, or any dealers who have demo cars.
Have you guys tried folding your wing mirrors inwards(physically)?

RZ86 · 06-24-2012, 10:17 AM

they're electronically folding mirrors. i wouldn't force them to fold in. there's a button near the window controls. it's pretty handy.

Yep. They fold in with a press of a button. Car needs to be on though.

Is there an auto function?

Nope. Switch is on the drivers door near power window switches.

In theory, it sounds like a relatively simple hack to get them to open/close automagically.. but I wouldn't want to mess anything up just yet haha.

If it could be somehow set to fold with door locks.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Dead locked car effectively, using remote or door handle.

We all need to keep an eye and ear out for someone working out how to activate when locking and unlocking the car... Would be great to have it automated.... Even just when engine is turned on or off.....

No we don't. FRS isn't same spec as GTS.
