Default Dipping left mirror?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if you can get these fitted?
I have found some of the fords came with them, I have had them before and found them handy when parking, I have a FG F6

Stock standard on G6E Turbo. Surely couldn't be too hard to do!

Standard on N/A G6E as well, not sure about G6 but probably not.

It's got to do with the seats so that's what you may need to change.

Hi. Came across this mob in the states while I was researching my window lift interface and saw that they have a mirror dip kit ( http://www.kptechnologies.com/products.php#/13 ). Might be worth sending them an email? Cheers MD

I retrofitted them to my BA XR8. I required the mirrors with memory controllers (boith sides), door looms and some changes to the body looms, as well as the seats that support memory. The module that controls memory position for Pedals, Seat Location and Mirrors is under the drivers seat.

I suspect FG would be similar - adding memory mirrors to non memory mirroed vehicles would require mirrors, door looms, changes to body looms (or change the whole looms themselves) and seats that support memory.

Mirror dip on reverse using left mirror uses an extra button on the drivers seat to configure it's dip position, or to turn the dip on or off.

Yep, our G6E has it, left side only. You set the dip and memorise it with the button beside the drivers seat, and then whenever you stick it in reverse, the passenger side mirror dips and then goes back to where it was when you go forwards. Would be a bit of wiring changes involved, but it couldn't be that hard.

If it means changing the front seats I'm out, I like the front seats.
Was hoping it would just be a small module, I'll check out the link above when on a computer with flash.

What about those round stick on mirrors? Then you don't have to worry about rewiring

Hi. Just got an answer from kptechnologies and the P&H to OZ is $29.99 so with the dollar near parity a module would be about $90.00. Cheers MD
