2017 Mdx Side Mirror swap to 2014-2016 Mdx?

Calling all Acura Tech expert. Can anyone tell me if a 2017 Mdx side mirror fit a 2014-2016 Mdx? 2017 Mdx comes with power folding mirrors. Is it plug and play if swap to 2014-2016 MDX's?

It's pretty much the same design structure. I don't see why not all you need to just cut and splice some wires for power and you are good to go. I did that on my old Civic when I have JDM folding mirrors. Just do come wiring tapping and you are done

Thanks KB1spec.. The old Civic is a lot easier because youre only dealing with 4-6 wires.. The MDX I believe 16-17 wires LOL but thank you tho..

I think all you need is the folding switch and match up the wiring on the folding mirror and then tap the ground and power and accessory wire.

Keep in mind that switch is integrated into the whole driver's window and mirror controller, so you gotta buy the whole shabang. Luckily i think it's only like $150 ish.

Looked back into the parts list I started making and forgot that the mirror controller is separate from the windows. SO you need 35190-TX4-H11 and 83560-TZ5-A01ZA I THINK. I wanted to wait for ebay listings of used parts to show up to verify (or I guess I can ask the parts guy at the dealer).

Do the mirrors auto-unfold in the MDX? The mirrors in my Sorento are power folding and unfolding however I can only unfold/fold via a button near the mirror adjustment controls or by pressing lock/unlock on the keyfob twice. The 2016+ Sorento has auto unfolding mirrors that unfold upon approaching the Sorento and fold when locked via smart key button on door handle.

If it is the former function in the MDX, then you have no worries. If it is the later, some programming MAY be needed (though I doubt it). Another thing to note is that in we had power folding mirrors since the 2014 model year, so if you can find online canaidan vendors willing to sell you the parts it could be WAY easier and cheaper with the favourable exchange rate.

Wondering if the '14-'16 are pre wired and it's just plug and play.

There is a setting that you can have it auto fold/unfold when you lock/unlock car. You can also do it manually by the window buttons.
