Folding mirrors and headlights, best positions for audio leads

[E3D]

I have automatic light but I cant seems to switch them off the button does nothing and they stay on, also do the folding mirrors fold in or only unfold as mine only do the latter. :rain:

On an audio related topic wheres the best place to run audio leads through the car. I was going to go under the carpet near the hand brake and through to the boot from the head unit.

Turning the knob to the right should fold in the mirrors, turning it back to the left unfolds.

I was trying to deactivate the auto lights today - couldn't manage it though - on the 172 switching lights on and off twice (i think) deactivated them although that didn't work on the 200

Thanks got them to fold in by turned the knob but should they automatically fold in when i lock the car?

Ive run all my leads down passenger side under the plastic trim as you can pass a thick wire through the rubber grommet under the glove box to the battery. No need to take out seats then either. They've tucked away really well tbh. All my excess wire has been hidden under back seats.

Sam, are you running the stock head unit? I'm still unsure whether to get a new sub. Running the wires sounds as simple as in the 1.4 clio!

And as far as I'm aware E3D the wing mirrors don't automatically fold in, at least mine don't - or I just don't know how too!

The auto light button needs to be held for around 6 seconds to deactivate

I'm running an aftermarket HU. You won't be Able to amp up the the factory HU as it doesn't have a phono out.

I've had quite a few headunit over the years. Id say this is a good one http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alp-cde134bt-alpine-cde-134bt.html

should work with the steering controls too.

I think it says 'auto' on the button if you have it.

On my cup (and diesel) it was just blank.

Found the button, held it in for 6 secs with ign on and headlights now deactivated

Thanks for the tip

ps - button on end of left stalk (indicator stalk)

I've got a jvc kdx DVD headunit in atm but it's a bit worse for wear so will be installing an alpine HU soon that's display an stalk ready. Think there's only two alpine HU's on the market that work with the display in top of dash.
