Sorry if it’s been answered but it’s hard to sort through 1000 replies.
 
Does anyone know if adding in power fold allows for key FOB operation?
 
I’m not talking about AUTO fold/unfold. Just want to know if I can operate the mirrors with the key fob. Would love to be able to remote start and unlock/open mirrors as I approach the vehicle.
 
EDIT: Originally a 2018 LT with DL8s. Going to 1A Auto 1786.

You cannot gain key fob fold if you’re an LT. I do have an after Market mod that uses a fold module that can make your mirrors fold with your key fob. It requires heavy driver door harness modification and an aftermarket fold module. It intercepts 11 circuits in your door harnesses.

Otherwise, unless you go down the complete path of adding Seat Memory, you can’t add it.

All,   Due to the overwhelming interest in folks wanting to upgrade their mirrors, I wanted to start this thread, hopefully, with all the information pertaining to the process of upgrading y

For those that are curious on the work involved with the harness modification, I've created and uploaded a Time Lapse Video of the process. The original post has been updated and the video link is at

Nice! I would post a pic of where I am right now (on vacation off course), but don’t want to piss anyone off ;)

There are some stipulations to this though and want to make sure you are 100% on board with it.

John,

I do not. Each upgrade is unique so I validate each order via PM, then build your harness to order.

I’ll be getting a website soon but I need to design it to retain all the awesome content that this forum provides. Send me a PM with the needs.

Please note: I am on vacation until 7/21 so my messages may be delayed due to time zone differences and reception. I am also accepting orders upon successful validation. All booked orders will built/Shipped upon my return, in the order they came in. PM me with your needs.

Currently, with all booked orders, lead time is about 4-5 days when I am back.

Thank you Phil.   It appears the mirrors I had on back order have shipped and they are plug and play for my set-up.  I was a week or two too late finding you.

 

Thank you for all your work and enjoy your vacation.

What is your current setup, and which mirrors did you order.  Not alot of these tow mirror upgrades are plug and play, unless you ordered the ones that have no lighting or power folding.

Jason,  I'm not gaining any new features, both the old and new mirrors are heated and electric adjust so it should be a simple trade.

@pgamboa  I just wanted to give credit to Phil for his help, support, awesome product, and great videos. I was able to convert my DL8 mirrors to DL3s.  I can recommend to anyone thinking on trying this to shoot Phil a pm and get his harnasses. Take your time and be patient as you go. I also had a little difficulty initially getting the panel to release from the upper clips, but it worked out with a little more effort.  Once again...thanks Phil.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
