Thanks!
Today I was ablento wire thr mirrors back in so I can have full control over them. I was able to wire them with an LM298N and 2 relays. The LM298 has 2 channels and allows me to run them both simultaneously. This allows me to bring both of the mirrors down at the same time when I am backing up or have a car with bright headlights behind me. I plan to make them automatically tilt down when I put it in reverse and bring them back to the original location (dead reconing through time).
I still need to 3d print a housing but I taped it together for now during testing. I made the power for everything (IDrive ****, driver and relays) come directly off of of the mirror connector so it is basically plug and play. All I have to do is plug the mirror connector, USB for the touch and CAN to get everything going.
Sometimes I think I over complicate this car but that's half the fun 🙃
I almost want to bring it to the dealer one day just to see their faces when they see the amount of wiring in this car 😅
