HiI have seen many utube videos regarding a relay module that allows you to open and close your mirrors with the key fob on the Sportage 2010+, I contacted the ebay seller but he says that it only works on the keyless startversion. any ideas.

dont think thats true cmgroup. ive got a sportage on order, due in a couple of months. thers no keyless entry, but i do have the folding mirrors.<div id="isChromeWebToolbarDiv" style="display:none">
The folding mirrors are activated by a switch on the outer arm rest. You do have to physically switch them though, there not automatic. The relay you can buy is for American sportage's which have a keyless entry (to lazy to put the key in the ignition I guess?) anyway, it works by cycling them out and in dependant on the lock/unlock button. Effectively the American models ignition is always on and hence the power to the mirrors is there waiting. I don't know why this is because you can fold out the mirrors in the uk proceed (which I have) when the keys not in the car but it's the same for me, you can't get them to fold on there own withough a keyless (or more precisely) the cars fitted with a starter button

Edited by: RichieD76 Ours is a UK Sportageand we added a relay, plug and play all very factory !!!!!!!
If you fold them manual with the button inside they will not unfold with remote good for us when parked in our garage up against a wall, stops you crunching them if you press unlock on the remote. but once the relay knows they are manually folded out if you press lock they fold in and press unlock they fold out, also they are not affected by the auto locking at 7 MPH
while the door cards were off we added 4 new speakers and LED red reflectors also fitted puddle lights to the mirrors

ok. i didnt realize. so your talking like on my wifes bmw. when you press the key button, doors lock. when you press and hold, the mirrors fold in.
It's a nice touch if it can be done and yes you are correct the BMW has this feature and the reason for this is because of the canbus which can be programmed but the Kia canbus does not go that far which is a pity, if I find a solution I will undate.
