one way to do it could be to wire it up so that when the doors lock, the switch for the mirrors is activated and they fold in, however for this to work, your power source for the mirror switch will have to be something which isnt connected to acc/on etc. (probably need a direct power source from the battery itself)

I think we do need a Relay for the folding mirror.

but which relay..????

any1 who got experience can explain about it ?

see if you can get your hands on a copy of the service manual. it will have the wiring diagrams for the door locks in it.

alternatively you could probably even hook it up to the alarm itself, but youd need to know which wires do what. if your alarm has the window windup feature then it shouldn't be too hard
