Wow! Getting a wiring diagram seems to be more difficult than I thought. Can anybody point me in the right direction. I am only interested in the circuit that drives the folding mirrors.

I will ask, but if nobody else has got a dealer to do it then I shall ask with little hope of any positive result. As I said in my earlier post the mirrors already fold so the motors are there and it cannot be rocket science to upgrade. I am perfectly capable of designing the necessary circuitry myself. I just need a circuit diagram - presumably I can download one off the internet. It might be a nice little project for a week or two in the winter.

Thanks to all for the useful replies. Now another question please. Does anybody know if there is an aftermarket upgrade kit that can be used to make the mirrors auto folding. The mirrors already fold by pressing the switch in the car so the basics are there and it cannot be rocket science to upgrade. I would like to do it myself but would be prepared to take it to my local Lexus main dealer if that is the only way to proceed. I saw something on the internet but it involved getting parts from China and the installation instructions were far from clear. Again all comments gratefully received

Thank you for the replies which are very helpful. I will check again but I fear that Peter is correct and that if the car has the Type A configuration then automatic folding is not installed. However I can concur with John's expression of surprise that a 2020 car does not have auto-folding. A pity because it would have been a quick and easy way to check at a glance whether the car was locked or not. Not a major issue however. Thanks for the suggestions Peter, I do not have the V5C at the moment I am waiting for it to arrive from DVLA showing me as the new owner of the car. I also have the personal number plate from my previous car on retention so I want to get that on this one. The car is a CT200h with the premium pack and the Tech pack (not the Premier pack ) so it has premium navigation , LED headlights, and headlamp washers. I am finding the navigation a bit cumbersome compared with the BMW - where you could do everything via the I-drive but I'm sure I'll soon get used to it. Will post further details if and when they are available and relevant.

I have just bought my first Lexus, having owned several BMWs over the past couple of decades, and am now trying to familiarise myself with a new setup. The car is a 2020 CT200h just one year old. I would like to link the opening and folding of the rear view mirrors to the unlocking and locking of the car so that I can tell at a glance whether the car is locked or not. The User Guide shows two different switch configurations which it calls Type A and Type B (p.54) It also says that if the mirror folding switch is in the neutral position it an be linked to the locking /unlocking of the car, but gives no detailed instruction on how to do this. My car has the Type A configuration and it seems to me that a "neutral" position is only possible with the Type B configuration which has a rocker switch, and if this interpretation is correct it is only with the Type B configuration that one can achieve the aim given above. As I am a new kid on the block I would appreciate any advice or guidance on this. Help would be much appreciated. Incidentally I like the car very much and it think the press criticism of its performance - or lack of it -is somewhat overblown.
