Auto Folding Mirrors
Hi all picking up my 2019 RDX Advance tomorrow, was wondering if there is anyway to install the Canada version of the power folding mirrors into the USA model.
Thanks for any replies

With what appears to be the last snow of the season melting away now and the prospect of warmer temperatures here in the Lower Mainland forthcoming, I can probably go ahead and re-enable auto-folding on shutdown. I've had that feature disabled for the winter so I wouldn't find them frozen up in the folded position after parking it outside all day at work. So thanks for the reminder.

well I tried a few vins I found on Canadian dealers to look up the parts, but I'm getting that they are invalid hmm...

I was entering Canadian vins in the American site, but it’s honda techinfo, I should be able to look up everything as it’s a paid subscription
also i don’t want to give anyone here any hope as the internals of each mirror listed on the American site is $666, that’s for the non auto folding part, so this is easily a couple thousand dollar upgrade if you did it, I can’t imagine what the auto folding part options costs 😂😂

I pulled my side mirror off to repair it a while back and I can tell you there is nothing in those mirrors that even hint of being able to be retro fit. It would probably be a real rebuild to make it work even if you had the parts, as the wiring harness and support infrastructure are just not there.

nah, he saw that the USA is a much larger market and knew people would trade in their 2019 RDX for the 2020 with folding mirrors......

This is one of those strange car things in Europe. So many vehicles have power folding mirrors as well as headlight washers. Things like the Mitsubishi outlander in Europe have headlight washers and power folding mirrors! Whereas here in NA that's usually reserved to luxury vehicles.

And so does our new CX-5. I don't get why Lexus and Acura feel we don't want it here. It really can't cost that much more to include something that is already available.

Canadians get the power folding mirror, spare tire, and heated steering wheel in the ASPEC. With the amount of praise the rdx gets for value in the US, the Canadian version seems like such a steal. This is why I had to get an ASPEC myself!
