Hey there, ive seen a blue euro parked where i usually park and each time i see both its side mirrors tucked in...
There are two conclusions, the driver is extra extra careful and each time parking the car goes out to both sides and tucks em in and opens themwhen back driving.... OR he has motorised side mirrors!
It is still the stock mirrors [love em], is this possible ??
no
afaik, we dont have motorised mirrors. but u can push them in manually
funnily enough some honda jazz's in the UK come with motorised side mirrors as standard
If you look in the manual, there is a stock part for it. But not for Australia for some reason!!!
on the V6 accord it has it. the v6 accord uses the same manual as euros, thats why its so chunky and fat
Really? My manual is only for Euros, both the petrol and diesel model. It's still thick though.Quote:

yeah even the 5th gen JDM accord sir's had motorised mirror's!
Most of street and parking lots in Japan or asian countries are so tiny and narrow. so electric tuck-in mirrors are standard features on almost all cars..
Here in Australia, we hardly short of space (except metropolitan area), so we rarely need this feature.. But I guess it is a nice optional feature to have.
is that why most JDM spec cars have sunroof's too? so u can fold ur mirrors in, carefully squeeze into a car park with 10cm gap on each side then climb out your sunroof?
I had this feature in my old JDM Prelude.
All I can say is that I've never used it during my 6 year ownership of the car.
It's a worthless gimmick.
had motorised in my old car.. loved it.. made life so easy to tuck them in to park into the garage on special occasions, or to get into a really really narrow spot.
but everytime someone snapped em back i got paranoid.. but a few clicks it would click itself back to normal :D
Mmm, I wonder if it can be installed in my Euro.. That is if I get the part... I agree with VirIIx that it's a good feature, useless at times but I had that in the R33 and S13 and it was good when you had to park in tight carparks or on the side of the road... Sadly the motor on my S13 mirrors busted and I ended up paying a fair bit to fix that...
I'm sure it can be installed on our euro, if we can source the motor and other related stuffs. one of the panel near the coin box must have been used to place the button for the mirror (next to where the sunroof button is located for Luxury).
I probably wouldn't get them, as I hardly ever use them. Unless they come very cheap and easy to install :D
Are you sure? Coz our V6 Accord (05 model) does NOT have it. And our manual is specifically for the Accord and does not include the Euro.Quote:

Yeh excactly, it is actually hooked up to the lock alarm. My mate in 180sx has got it and full jap style he says...
Thanks Tom.
why would you bother?
Im sure its not cheap !!
I fold my driver's side side-mirror quite often and I always wonder, by folding it too often, will it damage the side indicater light?
NO it wont damage it.
They are designed to do that
Haha, I saw this feature in the manual and ran out to the car to test it!
:( But it doesn't have it.
Another feature not in the Australian Euro is the "Headed side mirrors", which stops your side mirrors fogging up.
Very luxurious.
im keen.. who has the link..
ive done a full on search on ebay.. nothin lol
i want the whole folding in business lol its hot!
I'd find electric folding mirrors quite handy as my garage is a bit squeezy. The switch (if it had it) is to the right of the adjuster.
I saw a part from HK for the CL7-9 that tilts your mirror down when you are in reverse gear, just like the CU2. It looks geniune honda part too!
simple and easy fix buy a small circular mirror and stick it on your side mirror
You haven't seen a fick manual until you've bought a Benz!Quote:

if you want, pm me and ill pm you his name.
thought about doing it, but don't know of any good auto electricians in melb
I was just having a look on a US forum and got onto this site which, amongst other handly looking things, has a mirror tilter module. I've just found it, not read the info yet so don't know how it'll go on a right hand drive car! I've searched for things for the 2006 Acura TSX.
http://kptechnologies.com/products.p...cura&model=TSX
Edit: Most of the things are universal (not Euro specific) so would need a bit of experience to install. Even then, you'd have to check that the TSX things would install into a Euro - wiring may be different.
The honda one i was refering too is here with the part number
http://eshop.supergt.com.hk/preview/...?pid=ASHACL906
any idea where i could source one in melbourne for a 2009 accord euro lux navi?
I just purchased
(1)Reverse Mirror Tilt Module (Standard) (MT30-S)
(1)Window Roll-Up Module (Honda/Acura) (HM20)
from: http://kptechnologies.com/products.p...cura&model=TSX
I know a good electrician so it should be easy fix to install. See how it goes. All up cost me 215aus delivered.
nice tell us how it goes
sykked! lol pitty itll prollytake a month to get it lol
Would anyone know where i can purchase the module for power fold in side mirror
Good stuff! Let us know how those modules go when you've got them installed :thumbsup:Quote:
