So i got annoyed in my past cars where i did Kurb the wheels and i thought to my self not going to do it no more so looked into a way to make the wing mirror drop down when in reverse and then return to where it was.

 

so far i ahve fitted them to the following

Is200

Is300

Mr2

Micra

350z

Meriva

 

90% of the cables you require are located in the passengers foot well of the 350z. i gave up with the manual and went back to basics with the DMM and voila, the only cable i didnt look for was a constant 12v as i had already brought my own cable through the bulkhead from the battery for my car Pc this same cable also provides a Ignition feed as it does my car pc Setup as well...

Very easy as it goes i was quite surprised like i said 90% of the wires you need are in the Passenger footwell with the eception of Reverse Feed im assuming there will be a 12v and Ignition feed in that area but i never looked as i had my own sources due to the CAR PC

 

YOu can wire a switch in on the Ignition line which would tell the unit not to work same as you can put it on the reverse trigger feed.

 

that being said the unit has 2 modes

 

1 where it works every time u put it into reverse

 

the other

 

you have to double punch the reverse so that it operates i have done it on my car makes it easier to park sometimes when you dont want it to dip down etc.

i havent yet fitted the autofold mirrors but they should work as it the mirror folding uses 2 different lines than the mirror dip kit,

 

i know there is a auto-fold kit that everyone on here has already i have a kit which i have used on all my other cards which im hoping to fit to the zed now the winter is here i may well get round to it lol

i dont have a wiring schedule for this unit i do things as a test on my car then use other peoples cars to put a install guide together, did this a few times on Outlawjapclub.co.uk

 

if there is someone in the essex area that wants a kit fitted i can arrange this and we can work together to make a wiring guide ?

The KP Technologies forum lists the wiring colours for a 2007 Z as

 

From the service manual these are the wires needed to install the KPtechnologies Mirror Tilt module. Please verify all wiring with a digital meter before making any connections:

 

Power (KPtech Red) - Green @ ignition switch

Ground (KPtech black) - Chassis ground

Ignition (KPtech yellow) - Black / Red @ ignition switch

Reverse (KPtech purple) - Light green in drivers kick panel going towards back

Pass Mirror Up - Yellow / Black @ mirror switch

Pass Mirror Down - Purple / Blue @ mirror switch

 

Rabster seemed to say that he actually found most of the wiring in the passenger footwell which would definitely be easier than wiring into the switches. Would need to confirm if the colours changed on the earlier Z's, seems to remember Cookbot had an issue with his folding mirror module.

 

Im sat offshore at the mo so cant check any of this out, but if Rabster could confirm the colours and locations that should give most people a fair crack at getting it working.

 

I think Rabster has done group buys on these units for other forums before so he could probably start another one on here for people interested.

From zooming in on my photo's easier as im not with the car it looks like i used

Blue with red stripe

Green with Silver dots

you can Ground to the chassis to which there is enough bolts in that area

 

the 12v and IGnition are the only real trouble but again not a seriously big problem

you are correct i have done group buys before on Outlawjapclub.co.uk i buy it bits from the states once every few months i don't mind stumping up the cash in advance for these if i know there is a genuine interest

 

i don't know how the group buy works on here if someone wants to contact me regarding it we can sort something out.....

Here are the RULES for a group buy on here. I think we would need to work on getting a wiring guide set up but apart from that I dont see a problem, this was the guide Cookbot put together for his folding mirror mod, something like that would make it fairly idiot proof! .

Rabster did you not have to break into the switch loom in the door panels at all?? Just been reading some install guides for G35 and they went direct into the door loom at the window switches which sounds a pain in the a*s to be honest. If you could post up more details when you get chance of colours etc Id be really interested, Ive ordered a module from KP so will post up a detailed guide once its done, but any pointers up front would be greatly appreciated.

I will try and get to the car in the morning and get some more info for you but the only wires i had to find my self were :-

- reverse Trigger (taken from passenger rear light must be somewhere closer...)

- Mirror Up (Passenger door well at SMJ)

- Mirror down (Passenger door well at SMJ)

 

the Ignition, ground, constant 12v i already have a provisions for as i made my own for my items i install this way i know everything i install will be independent of the cars factory wiring....

 

as above it looks like i used

Blue with red stripe

Green with Silver dots

 

of course i will double check this....
