They are part of a pack that controls other things so may not work without that control unit

 

Ok, thank you for the reply, do you know what the other part of the control unit I would require?

 

Nothing else is required, Installing everything you did is 1st step, then you need to 'switch on' this option in CCF, cars configuration file.

 

Shouldn't need anything other than change to CCF.... see post 15 here

 

Hi thanks for pointing to the related Thread, but reading that it looks like I have to find someone that can activate them, and I have tried to look for someone that can do that, but without any luck. The last specialist I went to could not do it, they said they need a code from Jaguar, which is impossible to get. He was using SSD, as the Pathfinder has been phased out.

 

If he was thinking to use pathfinder on 2015 jag, then avoid at all cost. Pathfinder is for jags April 2017 and older, till 2020 I believe.

You need to be in engineering mode in sdd to be able to modify CCF.

where are you based, I can do it

 

Hi, funny you should say that because the person I went to said they did not want to go into engineering mode as that could cause other issues, ok, I am near Glastonbury.

 

Sure, as long as you know what you're after then it's safe.

3h away from me...

 

Hi That is no problem, I am prepared to travel to you, how much would it be?

 

Pm'd you

 

An example of the benefits of a forum vs YouTube

 

I'm thinking of adding power fold mirrors to mine too! Did you ever get it sorted?
And how was installation, was there a plug in the wiring loom already there or did you have to run it to the fuse box yourself?

Many thanks!

 

Hi, I never got them to work after all, some people have completed it successfully but I never got it to work. Put the old mirrors back on. All the wiring seemed to be there but no luck. I know the mirrors worked as I tried them before installing them.

 

Yeh, we did try to program them, but it didn't work for whatever reason. And did it few times, successfully, already🤷‍♂️

 

I can confirm that it is possible, @bik3rz played a part in programming mine for which I will always be thankful.

 

I wonder if it's the mirrors or the car...
If you still had the mirrors I could buy them off you and try them in mine since I want to buy some anyway?
I have a 2016 R Sport model

The only thing I worry about is the wiring as I'm unsure where they plug into or if I need to link it directly to the fuse box

 

Hi I do still have the mirrors, and have tested them so if you would like to buy them, that is fine.

 

LR Retrofits.

These guys may be able to help. I’ve previously had correspondence with them about the auto folding mirrors upgrade. It was a bit cheaper a few years back but they source the mirrors (used) and now suggest they are much more expensive as not as available as previous. They would probably agree to use the mirrors that you have sourced but not sure they’ll give you a warranty. A recall coding would be approx £200 when I enquired about coding alone. It’s sourcing good working mirrors that’s the problem. Worth a punt and they’ve been around a while. They do lots of retrofits to Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles including power gains too. I think they would seriously hurt my wallet if I lived next door to them!

 

 

800? Insane...

 

Bloody hell, that is crazy money.
You can find a pair of powerfold mirrors for £300ish, cheaper if you are lucky, you will use your original covers.
The module in the door has/should have all the correct wiring going to it.
It is not a massive job to fit them, allow an hour a side you will be well in, especially on the 2nd side.
Get the CCF changed (the man in post #20 might be able to help) and away you go for considerably less than £800.
