How to install Auto-Folding ORVMs in my Toyota Etios

som9729 · 15th November 2022, 12:20

Dear All,

I own an Etios, which has a factory-installed manual ORVM.

I want to upgrade that to an Electric ORVM which can auto-adjust & auto-fold.

I've searched quite a bit online and also asked at local shops, but none of them had a solution to offer.

Has anyone installed Auto-foldable & adjustable ORVM on a car which was originally sold with manual ORVM?

If yes, how?
Tx!

Not going to be of much help, but I believe it should be easy since the Etios Platinum has electric ORVMS with power folding ability. Purchase the parts from Toyota and do a DIY or give it to competent people?

My Etios has electric ORVMs but not power foldable. (bought three weeks before the launch of Etios Platinum). I am also day dreaming of installing power foldable mirrors and the much needed foldable rear seats with armrest and headrests.

And maybe the Optitron instrument cluster.

Just found this. One of the comments is indicating it costs 8k rupees.

The controls definitely looks like from a Maruti. So yeah definitely possible.
