Bongo Fury

Hi All, happy beginning of summer,

I'm wondering if it is possible/straightforward to make the mirrors auto fold when ignition on / off.

thanks in advance,

Tom

everything is possible

Its been done, and the guy I recall doing it had username Jaylee so you could search old posts by him as I think he wrote up how he did it.

You're up too early Bill.

Take a look at the link Ady has copied.

we are all getting old mate, (whats yer name).

The name's Ben, Daft Ben.

I'm on Vancouver Island time - its messing with me pot head. My bro got chatting with a Bongo owner in Victoria when we were there today - said he was a member of this forum. Small world!

That'll learn you, following your sat nav to the pub.

Sounds great.

Easy if you have a leisure battery. Transfer he mirrors to this circuit. Mine fold a the touch of a switch any time. Useful in tight spaces. I also have my electric sun roof connected in the same way.

Hello ,
hope I'm not hghjacking the tread but my bus doesn't have the folding mirror function , how difficult is it to retro fit these ?
I assume I need the approperite button and outside mirrors , is it a simple plug and play or is there extra loom required ?
My bus is 95 4wd TD
Thanks
Brian

I suspect you need mirrors with the motors fitted.

Likely the wiring is there but the switches and motors won't be.

I suspect it could be fiddly sorting the wiring even if motorised units prove easy to fit. Also I think they're a case of be careful what you wish for as they break easily if they ever get wrenched, as I know to my cost, having had to have both replaced over time.

Your also going to need the switch itself as well as the replacement mirror units.

Thanks for the replies gents
I don't mind sourcing the switch or the mirrors it's more the wiring I'd be concerned about , I think I'd do it if it was simply plug and play
My bus has electric mirrors but not the turning in feature which I'd like .
So to be clear can I buy the switch and mirrors and simply plug them into my existing look ?
As always thank you all for the great advice
Brian

So are you saying you have electric mirrors, but that they don't fold in ? Does the switch have the fold in switch on it as well ?
