I have a dummy button next to my wing-mirror L/R selector switch, which one of the members here has said is to power-fold the wing mirrors on the JDM RX8.

I'm just wondering whether anyone has seen any OEM power folding mirrors for the 8, and if so, where I could get them. I've had no look finding them mentioned anywhere.

I'd rather go OEM (if they exist!) than after-market, so I get to keep my puddle lights!

 

Never seen or heard of that..

 

I have never heard of JDM Rx8's having power folding mirror's.

 

i saw the other thread, i suupose that makes as much sense as any for the button(s) in the pics. if such mirrors exist, i would imagine that they space where your puddle lights are mounted would be needed for the motors to fold the mirror

 

At most it could be a window lock button, unlikely power folding mirrors coz even unfolded out side mirror is flush with the side of the car.

 

The window locking button is below, with the window controls. I think it makes more sense that this is something to do with the mirrors.

Here's a better picture.

 

From the other thread:

 

U were lied to

 

Dude isn't that the window lock button? I think ur button is just missing the lettering on it..

 

My car has that too.. all it does is lock the window from being rolled up or down. No such thing as auto folding mirrors on an 8

 

^ No, it doesn't do anything on my car.
This is my window lock button.

 

Hmm.. have u checked ur owners manual? I'm too lazy to go check my car

 

He is not referring to the button which locks the windows. Thats a BIGGER button above the window buttons. The one he is referring to is the tiny button next to the L/R selector.

JDM Rx-8s have power folding mirrors, the button is in the exact same location.

The poster seems to have a dummy button as its blank; JDM RX-8s have a mirror icon on them.

What makes you say that?

 

My dealer

 

It's not even pictured in my owners manual

 

^

 

I'll check my car in a little bit n make sure.. I'm kinda positive I have it too.

 

Here's a picture from my rx-8, I've pointed out the exact button but you can see the mirror printed on it whereas the poster's button is exactly the same but without any printing on it.

 

Does your stealer sell JDM RX-8s? :D

 

@SpecialPowers,

You have an RHD RX-8 from the looks of it. Most likely yours is a Japanese built car so it shares a similar switch panel but has a dummy button instead of an actual thing.

 

^cooooooooool!

Do you have puddle lights under your mirrors too?

Mine's UK spec

 

Its not a matter of "IF", they do exist (see the picture I just posted). And they do not eliminate the puddle lights. The puddle lights are there with the power folding mirrors.

 

If that's really what that button is for u should try to go those speedline mirrors in that thread I posted
