Default Powerfold Wiring Question

Having discovered the reason the powerfolds are not working is the fact they have been removed, and, like the Harman Kardon removal, someone has cut the relevant connector from the door loom, I have a little project.

So I have a question, the door loom connector - am I right in thinking it's a black / white pair of wires and that the connector is the same as say, those used on the vanity mirror connectors?

By the way I read somewhere how to auto powerfold with the remote control but I can't find it. Does anyone knows how to do this?

This was a result of the ultimate remote kit developed by a previous member on here and I was lucky enough to work with him and others to develop this unit. Unfortunately it is no longer available.
It started life as an add on pcb and using a secondary remote that would lock all the doors and close all the windows with a press of the button. T;his then progressed where we could use the original remote to lock the doors, close any open windows and fold in the powerfold windows with a single momentary press of the lock button on the OEM key. A single momentary press of the open button unlocked the car and opened the powerfolds, * a double click did the above and also opened all the windows and sun roof. There was the need to open the drivers side window switch up and install a new wire direct on to a pad in there ( pad 60 if I remember,) also a couple of diodes but I have forgotten most of the installation. The add on PCB was spliced int connections on the BCU.
I believe Trebor may still have some of the wiring diagrams available . best contact him. I do seem to remember there was a supplement to just add the powerfolds to auto close but I didn't keep a copy of it

Thanks Dave I do still have the ultimate remote wiring instructions, but as you say the URM is no longer being built as the originators Paul & Duncan no longer use this forum, I still have my URM and it works fine I have disconnected the PFs from it though as I have bullet PFs and the motors can be temperamental, I might fit Skullcap PFs if I ever get round to it.

Can I confirm something - only powerfold mirrors have two connectors on them, right?
