So I'm not sure where the jumper plug goes. I'm wondering if it goes between the mirror control in the driver's door? But then how does it get a lock/unlock signal? The single wire I'd say is switched 12v. Only because the jumper harness has a fuse.
The red and white will most likely be the mirror closest to the mirror control. (or driver)
Green and blue is for the passenger. I'm saying this due to having an extension.
I could also be very wrong.

That one goes into the plug by the steering
wheel. That’s all them can tell me.
the brown wire is labeled as “connect to raising window control wire….” is what I can make out.

Heres your kit. And the install. The window wire is not needed
Nice job. I was pondering this feature and glad to see it's doable. Thanks for the details. May hit you up when I do mine.
This won't be as simple as I thought it would be in terms of truly OEM. The problem is the harness from the mirror and also the door is different from our cars vs the UK models that have power folding mirrors. See picture. The UK models harness (right) is exactly how my IS250 harness was, and essentially all models with power folding mirrors (searched other models with power folding). Our harness is left. At least in the is250, the mirror harness would be missing the two wires from the power folding motor, so all you would have to do is pin those two wires to the harness and you're done. Once you plug it back into the door harness, the OEM switch would fold and unfold when you pushed the button. Add module if you want to fold/unfold on lock/unlock
To remain truly OEM, would need to change door harness and mirror harness, which would be too complicated.
Happy medium would be to get OEM motors and then the OEM switch and wire them together. Add module to fold on lock and unfold on starting car. Still need to get a better look at the door harness plug and wiring diagrams

Is the blue backlight on the power mirror switch the same color as the backlight on the wireless changer? Trying to see if I can tolerate the different color backlight, thanks!
It’s similar to the footwell light that people have installed.

oops looks like i never posted what i found on aliexpress. i never pulled the trigger tho.
Let us know how it works out!
edit: unfortunately, I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think the set you picked will work.
if you’re okay to have a separate button and hardwire the whole thing, this set looks better.
I just found this on AliExpress: $220.00 | For Toyota Corolla E210 2019-2024 Car Side Mirror Folding Kit Rearview Mirror Folding Motor Engine Electric Power Mirror Fold
But I hope I am wrong.
Just checking up on you.
When I looked at your purchase more carefully, I think it’s actually the same set that we bought from Carstormit. (With a separate motor, not the one included from the same kit). So it may just be the right set.

I believe this to be true too. Check out the listings update.
Someone must have been purchasing just the switch and auto box but different mirror motors?
The motors are probably the easier part of this whole thing. They also seemed to be what Toyota actually uses for their power folding mechanism.
the wiring, and which set was the harder part.
They have different models of Corolla in Asia, and all have different names… I think Chinas domestic model is Levin and others are Altis.
Anyhoo. Glad that it works out for you!

That seller has 2 other kits other than the Corolla Levin one
Highlander:
Sienna:
Or the Corolla Levin linked earlier.... I haven't taken the sideview mirrors apart, can anyone reference which of the three looks like our setup?
So these are the pictures of the motor and the folding mechanism (spring).
the motors are easily sourced from aliexpress or amazon. If you find the installation videos on YouTube, you will see them in more details.

Are you going to be keeping this count updated daily?
Love that guys videos and channel, hope he gains a ton more subs!
I've been chatting with him on IG about 2023/2024 fog light mod to run them with position lights without having to have headlights on...
Carstomit’s kit is so worth the $350. For truly plug-and-play, it can’t be beat. And, in terms of reliability, I’m coming up on a year and a half with mine and I have them folding and unfolding every time I lock and unlock the car.
Interested in this
I think the switch came with a blue light…. If you’re a little ocd like me and wants everything to be oem white (at least for CE which came with lighted switches)…. If there’s a will, there’s a price for it… 🤣
