This is kind of cool. I found a universal module that will allow a power mirror to turn down while in reverse. We could have both side mirrors turn down in reverse.
OR there might be an easier way to splice some wires from the passenger mirror to the driver mirror. This seems dangerous though. I might try to take apart some things this weekend.

Install on a G35

Yeah, it took me a while to get it just right. I did it the simple way at first and put a jumper wire across the switch. Worked flawless , only drawback was when adjusting the mirrors no matter which one was selected they both moved.
Next came the additional switch but that was tacky and defeated the purpose so now it was time to remove some panels. Been a while since I did it to mine and a friend's so can't recall the exact wire. There is a hot wire coming to the switch when the car is placed in reverse. Removed the wire and installed it to a relay and split it to both sides of the switch. Now in reverse they both get the signal to tilt the mirrors and you can adjust them individually by the switch. Don't see why they didn't come this way. Just wish they were power folding but oh well. Takes about 40 min to install and relay and extra wire about 5 bucks

Yeah I was thinking it would just be a matter of giving the same signal to both side mirrors. As your quote states at first both mirrors are linked when trying to adjust normally. Link to thread?
i have not seen any one do it, nor have I came across any one that has done it on acurazine...
he kinda posted that and then never returned to that thread...

Hmm. I am going to take a look at the mirror switch this weekend and see what kind of wires are going where. If it is as easy as splitting the reverse signal wire then I will definitely do it. I'll also install a manual switch for when I need to adjust one mirror at a time.

I did get a kick out of how young the actors looked when they showed snippets of them back in the early seasons.

I suppose as dull as this last season has been, I had to step back and realize that HIMYM is still Ted's story, so something other than "I moved to Chicago" had to have happened to Ted.

But the scenes with the kids and the ending were all planned from the beginning. You notice that the kids scenes were all filmed 10 years ago and that's why they never aged. Apparently the creators also told Josh Radnor the ending 10 years ago when they hired him.

Everything is in place. It just has a stack of 3 washers on the bolts from the cat. I know, it's ghetto and rice, but I wanted to get an idea of how it would sound before I actually did it lol

And EuroAccord looking good.
I'm surprised the car didn't swerve or anything! Driver and passenger must've been shitting bricks!
