Hi all.

Looking for some info. 

I have a 2007(56) 2.7d s type s

I has folding mirrors but i cannot get them to fold in automatically when i lock the car. Manual folding works fine. Am i or is the car missing something . .

Many thanks

On the S-Type (incl. ’07), powerfolds are button only from the factory, there’s no OEM “fold on lock” setting to turn on in IDS/SDD. If the switch folds them, your hardware’s fine; to get auto-fold you’ll need an add-on module (or a simple relay/timer) that pulses the fold wire off the lock/double-lock signal...plenty of plug-in kits out there, or a DIY if you’re handy with the DDM wiring.

Thank you for the reply. The reason i asked this question is on my 52 s type se+ the wing mirrors folded on locking from the keyfob. Also my 08 xf does the same. Is it possible to fit the xf module to and s type.as would prefer a plug and play solution rather than  play around with it myself .mechanics and body work i can do . Electrics is s dark art

you can make one with a few relays

if your handy with electronic message me as I have wiring diagrams on how to make them

I made one for mine many years ago

Thanks joe

But as previously said mechanicals and body work i can do electrics is not my thing. May try to get a wnd hand unit from an xf and see if it will work
