[How-To] switch power mirrors with the central locking - Page 3

civicfan · 20th December 2007, 20:29

I wonder if Honda at some point might decide to offer such functions via software upgrade (the technical possibility is there but the car's computer is not programmed to do this, the same applies for, autolocking, homing lights, mirror folding and so on). It's all in the "firmware" - or it's not...

If you mean the 12v on the light green lead, no because this is only floating at 12v and can not supply the current needed to operate a relay. That's why it has to be fed into a transistor circuit.

Anymore updates on this?

I'd really like to buy one of those circuits if someone is selling them!

Vet_2010 · 23rd January 2008, 19:26

No one thats done this fancy making one more and earning sum cash?

Robbieee · 23rd January 2008, 20:22

How much are people paying for a wired box then?

woolz · 31st January 2008, 15:02

id buy this kit if someone was prepared to build them up!!!

Vet_2010 · 31st January 2008, 18:27

Come on! Someone wants to do this... really you do!

gray52 · 31st January 2008, 23:31

any chance of some pics of the finished circuit, it mounted in the box or even where the box is mounted? may give this a go for a spring project.

I have been very busy lately and not had a chance to make these kits up yet, but am planning to at some point in the near future.

csmcqueen · 1st February 2008, 08:47

Can you disable this so it doesn't fold them away when you set the alarm ?

Great!

I'm defnitly up for buying one of those, keep us posted!

Cheers

Robbieee · 2nd February 2008, 10:45

How much are people willing to pay for them?

Vet_2010 · 2nd February 2008, 13:39

If Naresh could give us a rough idea of cost that would be great!
Unless its astonomical, like it would be from Honda dealer

, I'm definitly going to take one.
Wouldn't have a clue where to start myself, animals I can do, electronics i certianly can't!

Charles_Harding · 2nd February 2008, 15:20

I've got all the bits except for one measly little transistor, on order tho.

Even if I can get everything soldered into the right place, I dare not apply the system as my 'Auto' drivers window won't 'Auto' and therefore Millie will have to go back to the stealers for sorting.

Don't want to upset the warrantee.

Not convenient to do that at the moment, maybe a couple of months time.

But when 'tis done I shall post the results, good or bad!

I am willing to make this if someone is willing to test the first one. Of course you would get it for free if you are willing to test it out!

Robbieee · 3rd February 2008, 11:13

I have been looking into the costing of this project. The total cost would probably be around about 40-45quid all in. This includes postage+packing, all materials and labour.

eighteentee · 3rd February 2008, 11:23

I'd be really interested in one of these.

That sounds very reasonable.

Nice to know that you are not using Honda rates!

That sounds very reaosnable to me, I'd defnitly be on for buying one of those.
I'd offer to try out the first one for you but with being at Uni I won't have access to my car again until the 7th March.

Its finding time to do it really. and ordering the first one for a prototype. Will do the ordering this week and see how i get on. 7th of march might be a good target.

The cost could be slightly higher but not much higher. I will know 100% after i build the first one. I would never rip anyone off (honest guv!)

The reason i need someone to take it and test it is that i dont have my civic yet.

I suppose i have to say that in order to install this box, you will need a level of technical ability! If things go wrong, its your risk (goes without saying really hehe!)

Are you going to make a box up aswell? we could compare after we both make the first one.
