eurorover, you seem to have created a lot of interest in the unit, could you give more details within this posting, as it will save you going through all you P.M's. It will save you time in trying to answer all the question that will be fired at you.

If you wanted i could fit an extra switch (over ride) on the box so you can have them folding out when you are showing your cars off at the shows!

Just £3 subscription will give you more PM space

I will have to look at the wiring diagrams for your car then i may be able to do it. If you are willing to fit an extra switch in your car then it would be easy to do

To be honest, if you already have the power-folds fitted using the OEM window switch set with the button, then a simpler modification to the switch pack will enable the auto-fold/unfold on power up/ ignition out.

But if you don't have the switch pack that this mod might be the way to go.

What would be the function of the extra switch please?

Hi Christopher, how easy do you think it would be to use the OEM switch to open & close the original powerfold if they are already fitted?

I have a very simple cct I would like to try on mine, but it requires finding a trace on the switch pack PCB and soldering a connection to that - not a big deal but requires a bit of time (which is in short supply with me most ofthe time!)
