$1500 minimum for these, maybe double.

I would really like a retrofit and not a replace as I am already stacking parts from upgrades

I got the pictures from a Korean aftermarket company's website. Such modification is very popular there due to their tight parking spaces. This particular company charges approximately $900 USD for the entire job, including parts and labor.
I wanted to share that it's feasible and express my hope that companies like @Mabett or @IAG Performance will develop a plug-and-play option for us.

Min, I might know a company that can produce this. IAG and Mabett can't. I will be talking to my guy this week sometime, and if he thinks it can be done, then I'll ask him to go ahead and make the prototype. I know that the switch panel will have to be modified to make it plug and play, and that is something I would also get him to include to make it easy for guys to do the actual wiring.
I'll keep you up to date when I hear. Thanks for the link.....

I would buy this if it can be configured to trigger only with a push button. Don't need it when I park but could use it on some trails. Already nudged the passenger side mirror a couple of times.

like others said, my main issues are it could hit if the door opens too fast or not working correctly. also, with a motor if it gets hit less give and the whole unit will have more resistance and break catastrophically.

personally, one thing i like about the bronco is simplicity and less to break. i only fold when parked on a narrow street with a high risk of getting hit. not something i am looking for a solution for. i love working and modding, but this is one thing that is a hard pass, especially for the price.

..... it even has the auto-tilting side mirror function when you put in reverse.

No sure why this does not come standard. Super useful.

Wondering if the F150 folding mirror motor can be retrofitted to work on the Bronco.

I need this for parking, and drive throughs / toll booths, so it needs to be controllable in motion. The Bronco mirrors are massive and I always almost clip them.

That said, I did get a Base for a reason, simplicity.

I know this was from last year, but any updates on how this went?

I did ask about this, but it is not on their high priority list, as another company overseas has made a prototype already. They are trying to get ahold of a set so they can see what they have used inside, which I am told is probably either F150 or Explorer mechanism, with a new arm. I am always in the loop with these guys, so if I hear something, will let you know.

On another note, we are doing a meet and greet May 25th at Colossus in Langley again this year at 9am if your around.... coffee and donuts supplied by Bryter Truck Accessories, as well as door prizes, and Super discounts that day only for anyone that buys at the meet. Then a Cruise..... you should go !!

Ah sweet! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll put it in my calendar now

Turns out the Korean company is selling the kit on eBay so I took the plunge and made the purchase. Box arrived today!

Unfortunately it came with absolutely zero instructions of any kind- so I'm likely going to have to do a whole lot of calling around to various different customization shops hoping I find someone who's at least somewhat familiar with how these sort of things are typically implemented and hope they're willing to take on the task of going in blind and hopefully figuring it out along the way.

If anyone happens to know of a knowledgeable shop / tech in the downstate NY area who would be down for this adventure- I'm all ears!
