My Genuine Toyota Signal Mirrors Are Installed!

[ceric]

Look at all the Prius accessories in Japan. Someone should make it a business to import those from Japan (cerified them with US, of course) and do service to this Prius community. I would be a customer first.

We need that 110V outlet.

Coastal's Video controller + that 110V outlet = PS2 on the go :P

I took the pins out of the connector and relocated them to work on the right hand mirror. After grounding and powering the module (and sending power to the "reverse" wire) the module clicks and the mirror controls are now locked out, but the mirror doesn't move. I think the module can be turned on and off by holding down the down button while in reverse and off by holding the up button. I'll have to look into this.

I don't think this will be a problem to get this working, but be warned, the pins are all wrong for the USA (it's not even wired properly for the LH mirror right out of the box).

Pics and tips to follow for any other buyers in the USA.

Be warned, I don't yet have this working, so perhaps waiting on this would be prudent.

I think I paid over $110 for this module, but I combined the shipping and the friend's patience so I don't know what it takes to get it to the USA.

Just a note, this installation looks to be very easy on the USA model (once the pins are rearranged). Some of the wiring is swapped side to side, but other wiring is not, so I think the whole thing could be done under the driver's kick panel, pulling reverse from the NAV wire (if you have NAV). Keep in mind I don't have this working yet, so who knows for sure.

I kind knew the auto tilt is sort a problem.
I hope you got translated instruction. Since internet conncetion is bad in China.
But mirror looks great :mrgreen:
Your the only few lucky people to have the sea side pearl/w turn siganl mirror :mrgreen:

Thanks again Speedracer! I think I'm very close on the auto-tilt. The wiring diagram is very good; I will try again soon. Yes, I am very lucky; lucky to have a friend like you!

I could get pre much anything but to get any ceirtified is really difficultl.
Its besically DIY or own risk.
Also, shipping and custom is another problem. I have now good conncetion with a shipper/distributer so I can send good to U.S
However custom is always problem.
I can get mirror housing with turn signal, decals, lowing spring and so on but no spoilers or other because too expesive to ship and too much risk.
Also you more likely to pay duty/custom.

Oh, don't bother with the outlet . It's 100 Volts, not 110. (Japan is lower). I think it's 50 Hz too, so there's no way. Go for an aftermarket solution instead.

alright

[naterprius]

Just a note, I realized the reason the mirrors are skewed is because they are mounted at different angles. You can tell if you stand directly in front of the car. Some people may find this objectionable on their US model.
